David Nweze Umahi who currently serves as Nigeria’s Minister of Works, never impressed me one day throughout his tenure as Governor of Ebonyi State from 2015 to 2023. I was however not unaware of several development projects reportedly executed by him as governor which would ordinarily have painted him to me as one of the very few proactive political officeholders in Nigeria.
Luckily for Umahi, he didn’t share in Ayade’s hobby of the annual presentation of budgets of grammar. Instead, visitors to Ebonyi State returned with narratives of how Governor Umahi completed over 20 roads within the capital city of Abakaliki in addition to the rebuilding of some federal roads, especially the Afikpo-Abakaliki and the Nkalagu Roads. There were other stories of how Umahi reportedly transformed the state with projects in Agriculture, Education and Health sectors.
In all of this, the innovation our new Works Minister is holding-on to is his preference for concrete pavement over asphalt because concrete according to Umahi is most suited for the terrain of Nigerian roads. He insists that”you cannot put asphalt in water but you can put concrete in water,” adding that the cost of materials for concrete pavement is significantly cheaper when compared to the cost of materials for asphalt pavement.
