David Umahi, the minister of works, says roads constructed
on his watch will last fifty years before the need for maintenance arises.
The former governor of Ebonyi was among the 45 ministers
sworn in by President Bola Tinubu on Monday.
Speaking on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme,
on Thursday, the former senator said he will deploy “concrete technology” that
will aid the construction of quality roads.
“I noticed that some of the projects, while you are still on
the roads, have gone bad,” he said.
“The lifespan of a
road is between five to seven years. That should not be. And that’s why
everywhere, we are putting money on projects and not getting value for it.
“I have directed that all the ‘no objections’ my ministry
submitted to the BPP be returned.
“We need to look at the new method of constructing our roads
based on our climate.
“The moment we deploy
concrete technology… I am speaking with the state governors on this. It is a
revolution that is going to put smiles on the faces of Nigerians.
“I promise Nigerians, with the directive of President Bola
Tinubu, that any road we do with our new technology, for fifty years, nobody is
going to maintain it.
“Money will be saved and money will be wisely spent in our
tenure.”
