Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing political effort to manage regional perceptions of federal development and economic inclusion in Nigeria.
Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has urged Nigerians, especially South-Easterners, to acknowledge infrastructure strides under President Bola Tinubu.
This was contained in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Francis Nwaze, in Abuja on Tuesday.
Umahi spoke on Saturday at the 10th Anniversary of De Pinnacle Club International at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.
The Minister, honoured with an Award of Excellence in Public Service and Infrastructural Transformation, said politics should not blind people to tangible progress.
“We shouldn’t live in denial. We have to appreciate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; even God Almighty appreciates gratitude. It doesn’t stop us from asking for more,” he said.
He said the South-East provides visible examples of projects that moved from years of deterioration to active construction or substantial completion.
