The Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, says building roads using concrete will lead to carbon credits and align with President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s efforts in tackling climate change effects.

Umahi said this on Saturday in Lagos while inspecting works on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and other road projects on the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Dangote Tax Credit Route, and Eleko, among other axis.“All these road, we are building with concrete because there is low emission by reason of the traction of vehicles on these concrete roads. Asphalt gives a lot of heat and troubles our environment.

“The president is going to be working with us to see how we can claim a lot of carbon credits by reason of this innovation.” ” I want any other company that can challenge Hitech in terms of quality, in terms of equipment, in terms of being amenable to our changes, to challenge it,” he said.
