The Minister of Works, David Umahi, met on Tuesday with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, over plans to present before the National Working Committee the giant strides of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s infrastructure achievements under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The meeting focused on fixing a date for the minister to formally brief the party leadership on the administration’s giant strides in road and bridge construction nationwide, projects that have continued to attract commendations and positive reactions from Nigerians across different sectors.

During the meeting, Umahi commended the APC national chairman for introducing an engagement process in which ministers appear before the National Working Committee on live telecast to account for the progress and gains made by the administration.

He also commended the national chairman for the success recorded in the conduct of the party’s primaries and the inclusive disposition of the National Working Committee in ensuring that aspirants were given the freedom to contest the primaries.

Responding, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda applauded the minister for the ongoing transformation in the nation’s infrastructure sector and assured him that the National Working Committee would soon invite him to formally present the administration’s achievements.

He noted that even before the official presentation, members of the committee and Nigerians had continued to witness and follow the massive infrastructure drive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through television reports, public feedback and visible projects across the country.

Immediately after the meeting, the minister proceeded to personally review and address the developing situation at Eko Bridge.
