The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has called on stakeholders and host communities along the Bodo-Bonny corridor to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu, emphasising that continuity in government is crucial for the completion of Phase II of the strategic road project.
Umahi made the call on Friday at the Medallion Award Ceremony organised by the Bodo-Bonny Road and Bridges Peace Committee in Abuja, where he was represented by the Minister of State for Works, Bello Goronyo.
Addressing participants, the minister described the project as a landmark achievement that goes beyond infrastructure, transforming the economic and social landscape of coastal communities.
“This road is more than a physical link; it is a bridge to opportunity, a lifeline for commerce, and a symbol of national cohesion. It connects coastal communities to the mainland, reduces insecurity, and opens doors for prosperity across the Niger Delta”, he said.
Umahi highlighted the government’s commitment to expanding road infrastructure across the country as part of efforts to deepen national connectivity and boost economic growth.
“Phase II of the project has been approved by Mr President, and we are already putting pen to paper to commence work immediately,” he added.
He urged communities to rally behind the President, stressing the importance of policy continuity in delivering long-term infrastructure projects.
