President Bola Tinubu has honored the Minister of Works, David Umahi, as he reaches the age of 63. The president commended the minister for his unwavering focus on building high-quality infrastructure throughout the country.
Born on July 25, 1963, Umahi previously served two terms as the governor of Ebonyi State and held a seat in the Senate for Ebonyi South before joining the current federal cabinet. Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, shared a statement on Saturday highlighting Tinubu’s admiration for the minister’s work ethic and patriotic spirit.
Tinubu noted that Umahi stands out as an exceptional member of his team. Rather than managing from behind a desk, the president highlighted that Umahi frequently visits construction sites in person to ensure that projects meet strict standards. The president encouraged the minister to keep pushing forward with his efforts to improve the national road network, which is central to the government’s plan for economic advancement. The message concluded with Tinubu offering his well wishes for the health and continued success of both Umahi and his family.
