Umahi, who said the pace of work on the expressway was less encouraging, expressed his feelings during an inspection tour of the project last weekend.
He urged the contractors to rise to their responsibilities and ensure timely completion of the projects.

In Delta State, he said: “I am particularly not impressed with the work done by CCECC on the Warri-Benni-Asaba Road, and I am concerned about the slow pace of work on the Efurun-Sapele section. I urge the contractors to intensify efforts to meet the project’s deadline.
“Timely completion is crucial and I expect all contractors to work diligently towards achieving this goal.”
He appreciated the synergy between the Delta State Government and the Federal Government on projects that are ongoing in the state.
“The Delta State Government’s proactive approach in taking over the payment of compensation to affected individuals has been instrumental in fast-tracking the projects. I am confident that this collaboration will yield positive results, and I assure the state government that the Federal Ministry of Works will honour its commitments,” he said.
The former governor of Ebonyi State also inspected the ongoing construction of Eke-Obinagu Flyover in Enugu State and expressed satisfaction with the progress of work on the project.
