FG, NIGERIA POLICE DEEPEN PARTNERSHIP AS MINISTER UMAHI, IGP DISU STRENGTHEN SECURITY COLLABORATION FOR SAFER HIGHWAYS, NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Honourable Minister of Works, Sen. Engr. David Umahi, CON, FNSE, FNATE has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for its impact on road infrastructure development across the six geopolitical zones of the country, while reaffirming the Federal Government’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with the Nigeria Police to safeguard critical national infrastructure and improve security along major highways.

Engr. Umahi made the remarks during a working visit by the Nigeria Police delegation led by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, PSC, NPM, to the Federal Ministry of Works Headquarters in Abuja, where discussions focused on improving security around major road projects, deepening inter-agency cooperation, and advancing national developmental objectives.

The visit underscored the Force's commitment, under the leadership of the IGP, to strengthening strategic collaboration with the Ministry to protect critical infrastructure and ensure safer highways across the country. He asked for logistic support from the Ministry to reposition the Nigeria Police Highway Patrol Unit in the face of a recent nationwide surge in the theft and vandalism of vital road furniture.

Speaking during the visit, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, commended the Honourable Minister of Works for the transformation taking place in Nigeria’s road sector. He described roads as vital links of national unity, economic growth, social interaction, and public safety.

According to the IGP, roads not only connect communities but also create employment opportunities, stimulate commerce, and contribute to crime reduction by expanding economic activities for citizens. He stated that his visit was aimed at reinforcing collaboration and synergy between the Ministry and the Nigeria Police to ensure improved transportation safety and enhanced security across Federal roads.

IGP Disu noted that some of the ongoing road projects have attracted national and international attention due to their economic, tourist, and sporting potentials, stressing that improved infrastructure would open up opportunities for tourism, commerce, sports, and other socioeconomic activities across the country. He also pledged the readiness of the Force to strengthen security presence along major highways and critical project corridors, nationwide, emphasising that effective security on our highways remains essential for sustainable national development and economic stability.

Responding, the Honourable Minister expressed appreciation to the Inspector-General of Police and the Nigeria Police for their continued support in securing ongoing and completed road projects, particularly in areas experiencing security challenges. He described the IGP as a dependable, disciplined, and professional officer, whose dedication to service continues to strengthen public confidence in the organisation.

Engr. Umahi also welcomed the proactive security initiatives introduced under the IGP’s leadership, describing them as timely measures capable of enhancing peace, public safety, and national stability. He insisted that the success of the Federal Government’s ambitious road development agenda would not have been possible without the commitment and sacrifices of security agencies working tirelessly to protect project sites, personnel, and equipment, as well as installed furnishings such as solar panels, lights, batteries, and poles and reinforcements to road medians and CCTV systems. He also noted that many strategic road projects, particularly in insecurity-prone areas, would have been difficult to execute without the support and sacrifices of officers and men of the Nigeria Police and other security agencies.

The Minister highlighted the ongoing four (4) Renewed Hope Legacy Road Projects and other strategic infrastructure developments being executed across the country, noting that no geopolitical zone has been left behind in the Federal Government’s development agenda, under President Tinubu. He further applauded the President’s determination to reposition Nigeria’s infrastructure landscape, explaining that government borrowings are being strategically directed toward economically viable and critical infrastructure projects capable of improving transportation, boosting commerce, and enhancing the quality of life of Nigerians.

He explained that the current administration had adopted reinforced concrete pavement technology on several strategic road projects to ensure durability and long-term value, noting that many of the completed roads are designed to serve Nigerians for decades with minimal maintenance. He also disclosed that the Ministry had already begun integrating modern security features into major infrastructure projects, including surveillance systems, observation facilities, rest stations, and collaborative response mechanisms with security agencies along strategic highways.

Engr. Umahi proposed the integration of a dedicated police security architecture into highway development plans, including designated security checkpoints, patrol bases, and operational centres to support intelligence gathering and emergency response along major road corridors and construction sites.

In his address, the Honourable Minister of State for Works, Hon. Bello M. Goronyo, Esq., welcomed the IGP and his delegation and commended the Inspector-General for his leadership and untiring dedication to national security. He stressed the importance of security support for ongoing infrastructure development, especially with several strategic road projects currently underway across the country. He noted that improved collaboration between the Ministry and security agencies remains essential for protecting workers, equipment, and communities along project corridors.

Goronyo further stated that President Tinubu has continued to provide the necessary budgetary support to enable the Ministry to execute numerous infrastructure projects nationwide, reaffirming the administration’s commitment to delivering quality roads and infrastructure capable of driving economic growth, connectivity, and national integration.

In a Vote of Thanks, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr. Rafiu Adeladan, appreciated the Inspector-General of Police and his team for the visit and commended the existing collaboration between the Ministry, the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), and other security agencies in protecting critical national infrastructure across the country. He noted that huge investments have been committed to road infrastructure development nationwide, echoing the need for sustained protection of these national assets to ensure their long-term value and impact on the lives of Nigerians. He expressed confidence that the working visit would further strengthen collaboration between the Ministry and the Nigeria Police in safeguarding critical infrastructure projects.

FG SIGNS MoU AGREEMENTS ON LEGACY ROAD PROJECTS WITH MESSRS HITECH AND INFIOUEST UNDER PRESIDENT TINUBU’S INFRASTRUCTURE RENEWAL AGENDA The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Works, today signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) between it and two (2) construction companies — Messrs Hitech Africa Limited and Infiouest International Limited — as part of the Renewed Hope Administration’s ongoing legacy road projects across the country. The signing ceremony, held at the Ministry’s headquarters, was attended by the Honourable Minister of Works, the Permanent Secretary, Directors, and representatives of the contracting firms led by their Managing Directors. Speaking during the event, the Minister, H. E. Sen. Engr. David Umahi, CON, FNSE, FNATE described the occasion as another milestone in the transformation of Nigeria’s infrastructure sector. According to the Minister, many people initially doubted and criticised the projects, but today they have seen the reality. “These projects are not just road projects; they are investments that will stimulate economic growth, improve connectivity, and enhance national development and integration,” he stated. The Minister also highlighted the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR in transforming campaign promises into tangible developmental projects across the nation. He appealed to the people of the South-East and the South, generally, to reciprocate the President’s gesture by supporting his 2027 re-election bid, describing the people of the zone as “ a people of wisdom.” The Minister commended the Contractors handling the four (4) Legacy Road Projects for their professionalism, commitment, and adherence to engineering specifications and timelines. He noted that despite initial criticisms of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, Nigerians are now witnessing its immense economic value and engineering excellence. “When we started the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, many doubted its feasibility, but today the project has become a beauty to behold and an economic catalyst for Nigeria,” the Minister opined. Engr. Umahi revealed that Section II of the Calabar-Ebonyi-Abuja Superhighway (Trans- Saharan Route) spans from the Ebonyi State Border -Benue-Kogi-Nasarawa States, while Section IV of the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway passes through Oyo State, and Section V of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway goes through Akwa Ibom State. Work is progressing steadily on the other sections in Cross River and Akwa Ibom States. He explained that Section V of the Coastal Highway traverses extremely difficult terrain, with over 70 percent of the route located in deep swampy soil requiring extensive excavation, filling, and reinforcement works. “This is not an ordinary road project. It is an investment that will last for 100 years with minimal maintenance,” he added. The Minister further disclosed that the average cost per kilometre for the standard dual carriageway remains competitive despite the complex engineering requirements, including reinforced pavement structures, concrete drainage systems, culverts, and other road architecture. Speaking on the Sokoto-Badagry Super Highway, the Minister stated that the project demonstrates Mr. President’s commitment to equitable infrastructure distribution across the six geopolitical zones of the country. He also highlighted the Federal Government’s resolve to ensure durability and quality in all road projects, stressing that contracts under the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Financing (EPC+F) model would not be subject to arbitrary cost reviews, except under clearly established unforeseen circumstances. Senator Umahi reiterated that the Federal Government would provide 30 percent counterpart funding for the projects, while the remaining would be sourced through a structured funding arrangement. He added that the roads upon completion would eventually be tolled to guarantee sustainability and return on investment. The Managing Director of Hitech Africa Limited, Mr. Dany Abboud, assured the Federal Government of the company’s readiness to deliver the projects within and even ahead of the 36-month completion timeline. “Hightech remains fully committed to delivering these projects to international standards, even better than what has already been achieved on Section I of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway,” he stated. He added that the company is eagerly waiting for the commissioning of the completed Section I in Lagos State, reaffirming the contractor’s commitment to quality, speed, and excellence. The Ministry reassured its determination to continue delivering durable and economically beneficial road projects, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu, GCFR. The Minister used a popular proverb to encourage appreciation for hard work and dedication, saying: “When a lizard falls from a tall tree and nobody applauds it, it applauds itself.” The Permanent Secretary, Mr. Rafiu Adeladan described the projects as hallmarks of President Tinubu’s commitment to transforming the nation’s infrastructure landscape and commended the Minister for his leadership and dedication to repositioning the road sector. The Agreements were signed by the Permanent Secretary, on behalf of the Ministry, while the Managing Directors signed for their respective contracting companies. They include; 1. Calabar-Ebonyi-Abuja Superhighway, Section II: Ebonyi State Border - Benue - Kogi - Nasarawa States 2. Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, Section IV: Oyo State 3. Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Section 5: Akwa Ibom State and 4. Dualisation of Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe-Biu-Maiduguri Road, Section 2: Gombe - Biu. “What we are doing today represents the President’s commitment to changing the face of infrastructure in Nigeria. Since the coming of the Minister, the road sector has witnessed tremendous transformation, and we are confident that these projects will be delivered within the stipulated timelines,” he stated. Also speaking during the event was the Director, Highways, Bridges, and Design, Engr. Musa Sa’idu, who oversees the Legacy Road Projects, stated that the projects formed part of the Federal Government’s strategic infrastructure development programme, under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu, GCFR. He disclosed that the agreements signed cover a new alignment of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway in Akwa Ibom State, spanning approximately 82.8 kilometres of Dual Carriageway; Section IV of the Sokoto-Badagry Super Highway covering about 180 kilometres; and the Biu-Gombe section of the Akwanga-Maiduguri corridor covering approximately 125 kilometres. ...

UMAHI HANDS OVER NEW CARTER BRIDGE PROJECT TO CCECC, TO SHUT DOWN ONE CARRIAGEWAY OF EKO BRIDGE ON SUNDAY The Federal Government has officially handed over the construction of a brand-new Carter Bridge in Lagos to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), as part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to protecting critical infrastructure and ensuring the safety of Nigerians. The event took place at Carter Bridge, Lagos Island, Lagos State, on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Speaking during the handover ceremony, the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, CON, said the decision to reconstruct the bridge became necessary after years of alarming structural investigations revealed worsening defects beneath both the Carter Bridge and the 3rd Mainland Bridge. According to the Minister, investigations into the underwater structural elements of the bridges began as far back as 2013, with another assessment carried out in 2019. The reports, he said, showed that the defects were increasing at what experts described as “geometrical progression.” “The past administration commissioned investigation of what was happening with the structural elements below the water, and that was in 2013. And the very disturbing defects were noticed in Carter Bridge and 3rd Mainland Bridge,” Umahi stated. He explained that upon assumption of office, the present administration immediately engaged geologists and specialist divers to conduct further underwater investigations, which confirmed that some piles supporting the bridges had already shifted from their pile caps. “It’s just like the hip of the leg is cut off,” the Minister explained while describing the severity of the damage. Umahi said extensive consultations were held with bridge experts, stakeholders and members of the National Assembly, including foreign professionals, to determine the best solution. Experts, according to him, advised that repairing the Carter Bridge would cost almost twice the amount required to build a completely new structure. Following detailed technical analysis, the Federal Government approved the construction of a new modern bridge. He revealed that part of the new Carter Bridge will feature a world-class cable-stayed design to improve navigation and add aesthetic value to Lagos. “We decided that a section of this Carter Bridge will be a cable bridge. You see the cable bridge we see overseas, very beautiful, and that is to enhance our navigational activities,” he said. The Minister disclosed that the project is expected to last 36 months. He praised President Tinubu for what he described as bold leadership and commitment to infrastructure renewal across the country. “So we are here to commend the president, president of first, president of infrastructure, the president of second tenure,” Umahi declared. The project, valued at N545 billion, will be financed through a combination of Federal Government counterpart funding and external borrowing, with 30 percent to be paid by the Federal Government and 70 percent sourced externally. Umahi further stated that due process was strictly followed in selecting the contractor, noting that seven firms were invited while six submitted bids, including Julius Berger. According to him, CCECC emerged as the most technically and commercially viable company. “The CECC was technically and commercially most viable. And that’s why the BPP recommended them and the Federal Executive Council has awarded the project to them,” he said. Formally handing over the site, the Minister directed the company to immediately mobilize to site while assuring Nigerians that the Ministry would closely monitor the project monthly to ensure compliance with all technical and safety standards. “By the authority of our president, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and with gratitude to God Almighty, it is our prayers that this which the president had started, that will last 36 months… It is the president that has started this work, and God will give him enablement and the second tenure to complete this project to the glory of God,” Umahi added. Meanwhile, the Minister also announced an emergency closure of one carriageway of the Eko Bridge following severe structural damage caused by illegal sand miners. He disclosed that illegal dredging activities around the bridge led to the destruction of several supporting piles after miners struck one of the pile caps with a barge. “When they knocked the pile cap, they broke three piles. And when they were trying to remove the barge, they broke another two,” he said. Umahi explained that the damage has weakened a section of the bridge, resulting in dangerous cracks and structural instability that could threaten lives if urgent action is not taken. As a precautionary measure, he directed that one full carriageway of the Eko Bridge be shut down by midnight of Sunday, May 10, 2026, while the unaffected carriageway remains open to traffic. “We will not allow people to endanger their lives. We are a responsible administration,” the Minister said. He further disclosed that the Federal Government has already designed an emergency technical solution involving the lifting of an entire bridge span to expose and repair the damaged sections beneath. According to him, Buildwell Construction, which has extensive experience handling bridge lifting operations on the Eko Bridge, will execute the emergency repairs alongside underwater structural investigations by specialist divers. The Minister assured Lagosians that President Tinubu has been fully briefed on the situation and directed that the matter be treated as an emergency. “President said I must be in Lagos to examine it and then treat it as an emergency situation. And that is what we are doing,” Umahi stated. He appealed for patience and understanding from residents, assuring Nigerians that the administration remains fully committed to protecting lives and preserving vital national infrastructure. “We are solving problems we didn’t create, but that’s why you voted for us, and that we are going to be working day and night,” the Minister said. ...
