The Minister of Works, David Umahi, declared in Abuja on Thursday that President Bola Tinubu acted in the best interest of Nigeria with the ongoing construction of the Lagos – Calabar Coastal Highway. He also said there’s no decision taken by the president that has ever failed, including this tax reform bill.

Galaxy Television reports that Umahi who made the declaration while fielding questions from journalists after an interactive session with the Senate Committee on Works, described those criticizing President Tinubu on the project as being jealous and envious of his performance. Tinubu had a dream 25 years ago as a governor on the project and divinely actualized for him when he became President by God.

He, however, expressed happiness over interaction with the Senate Committee on Works for supporting the president, adding that they see the good work the president is doing. He specifically praised the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Works, Senator Mpigi Barinada, a PDP senator, for moving a motion that Tinubu must continue in 2027 so that he can complete all these projects.
