Tinubu using road projects to fight insecurity – Umahi
Minister of Works Highlights Road Projects as Tool Against Insecurity
Minister of Works David Umahi has announced that road rehabilitation and construction initiatives under President Bola Tinubu’s administration are aimed at addressing insecurity in Nigeria.
During the formal launch of projects at Muna City Gate on the Maiduguri-Dikwa-Gamboru road over the weekend, Umahi emphasized the strategic role these highway developments will play in bolstering military operations across the country.
He stated that the improved road networks would not only reconnect communities but also stimulate economic activity and enhance military logistics in the North East region.
“These road infrastructure projects are part of President Tinubu’s broader strategy to combat insecurity,” Umahi said. “Completion of these projects will benefit the people in the North East by providing vital connections to Chad and Cameroon.”
Umahi added that the enhanced roadways would facilitate military access to combat remnants of insurgency in the area.
