The Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi has stated that the federal government can no longer fund all on going projects in the country at the same time.

Speaking during a press conference on Friday, Umahi said he had been directed by President Bola Ahmed to review all projects in the country to decide those that would be given priority.
The minister, while stating the government was not considering dumping projects it inherited, clarified that projects that will be considered for funding would have reached 80 per cent completion.

“The Federal Executive Council has directed we should review the projects to availability of funds and make proposals to FEC. If such a project has attained about 80 per cent of completion, then we will make proposal to it for subsequent appropriation. When this money is made available, such project will be made a priority so that it will be completed. That is what we are going to do. The president has not stepped down any project.

On the issue of new projects, if we have appropriation that has not completed, at least, one kilometer, we are not going to carry out such appropriation. That is what FEC is concerned about. We can’t have N500m on budget but procurement is supposed to be N50bn or N100bn and you go ahead to award such a project. We have been directed not to do so.”

He added that contractors that are not ready to accept the new terms should terminate the contract.

He also decried the politicisation of road projects where lawmakers were only cocorned with citing projects in their communities even when the government did not have the funds to construct them.

“There is a political angle award of contract where we have politicians putting the ministry under pressure just to tell their constituency or community that project has been awarded.
If we continue like this, we are just helping the contractor as the money we have is not enough and when you give it to them, they will pocket it and do nothing.”

Umahi, you and your oga be mumu! Was the paucity of funds not the reason why Peter Obi criticised all the money you guys were pouring on Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway? Just the money spent on compensation alone can fix existing highways in Nigeria.

Lol. Instead tinubu should focus on the economy they are wasting scares resources on road projects at the time. Road project is bad timing at the present time. No country will be busy constructing new road when the currency is among 5 worst currency in the world.

We all know big projects are avenues to divert public funds

Rara oo. Pls umahi this must be a joke.

Yesterday I said only God puts people in position of power and his illiterate supporters mobbed me with insults. You can't be in office by a divine arrangement and your reign won't be a peaceful and successful one. See disasters everywhere.

Muslim, read your alukurani and Christians too should read the bible. There's nothing anyone can prove to me on both books that I can't tackle. You the traditionalists, you already know what am saying , especially when Ifa chose a king but the people went and satisfied their desire. We consult same God but via different means.

Jonathan was clueless, he doesn't know how to govern, bla bla bla yet, his government witnessed so much prosperity and they unleashed bokoharam on him to dabaru his government. Just to fulfil a lifetime ambition, they staged protests , spewing propaganda all over and now, those boko haram sponsors and protest organisers have hijacked power and Nigeria is beginning to cocollapse. Amazingly,they ended up adopting all they accused Jonathan of.

Imagine an ordinary Benin Republic, our half brother threatening to deport Nigerians living there. Amazingly, the only country in africa today witnessing so much calamity, pain and hunger is Nigeria. Just cross the border to cotonou and you'd be wondering if you just left the hell behind. Nigerians will learn by force.

Yesterday, the cbn said it can't grant loan via the ways and means anymore, which they first applauded as the way out. They've applied all the known strategies, blamed everything including crypto as the causes of the ailing economy, yet no improvement. We haven't seen anything yet.
