One of the standout minister I respect so much. You're a special man. God bless you sir.
Him and Wike will surely standout in performance in this Tinubu 8years.
This man is very intelligent and he knows what to do !
A minister who knows what to do and how to implement them. Kudos Engr. Umahi
Dave Umahi should be a standard for our ministers .
And Mr project fct
Honourable minister, please when will Abeokuta-Lagos road be constructed, The road is nothing to write home about
Abeokuta - Lagos Road have been constructed, years back under Obassnjo PDP administration,. But because there's a lot of corruption 😮😮 on our roads through Supervisors work to supervise the constructing roads, the damages those supervisors does to our roads are too much. Contractors are not to be blame, but those call supervisors(either from Federal, State and Local Governments).❤
Asked the old man obasanjo and the formal mumu vp
The minister is coming!
Remain calm, please.
To be honest, Mr minister is doing beyond expectation, and i hope the president will continue to give him freedom to work without restrictions, he's a great asset not just to this administration but to the country at large. God bless Nigeria
I fully agreed with you
How please? He's doing what is expected of him. Why do we set very low standards for our politicians.
President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not known to hinder his ministers or commissioners, when he was a governor. It is only if you are not measuring up to expectations that you might feel his stick. As far as I'm concerned, Engr. Dave Umahi is one of the bright and shinning stars in this administration. He is a goal getter.
Technology cannot be transferred if you cannot see it, feel it, touch it and be part of it.
President Tinubu must understand that Mega projects like this Lagos to Calabar highway (and others in Nigeria) is one of the the ways many countries of the world use to reduce unemployment in their societies.
Mr Tinubu, it is your duty to let these companies understand that they have to employ Nigerians graduates in their areas of specialities and pay them livable wages. It is insane to say that Nigerians graduates knows nothing.
Any University or Polythenic or other institutions anywhere in our planet will teach you the basics of your speciality, it is your clinical or fields work that will define you. Example, it is impossible for a Civil Engineer to build a bridge or road after graduation without working in a construction company that engages in such services.
It is the duty of those companies involved to re-train those graduates to their standards.
On point bro, you are right
You are right and I agree with you. But this project actually already provide immediate jobs for many Nigerians. Hitech construction company who was awarded the project has been in Nigeria for decades and hired thousands of Nigeria both directly and indirectly and I have a cousin who currently works for them. In addition to that, they partner a lot with Dangote cements and in fact they are one of the largest consumer of Dangote cements and we all know that Dangote is the single largest employer of labours in Nigeria. So technically they are already doing what you mentioned. Should there be more? maybe. But to be fair, lots of skilled Nigerians are working for them already which I believe as a company, it is even more economical for them to hire Nigerians than brining expatriates from their country. construction labour can be costly and I am sure they know this. My cousin who works for them is a civil engineer and has been with them for going to 10 years now. And was even sent to Kenya for like 3years to go lead a project by the same company. We just might not know.
This is the type of minister we needs in Nigeria a that knows in and out of what his doing, i throw salute Minister and thanks the President for putting the wright person in the wright position.
He maybe good at what he does but does Nigerian government really support good deeds and not bad or evil selfish deeds ?
Wright??
@@owen_luo9823what evil ? Shut up .
@@owen_luo9823 So is Dave Umahi doing this on his own or authorized by the President and the NASS ?
Bump shouldn't be put on 3rd Mainland Bridge, the traffic will be horrible.
This is the more reason why competent professional should be made to head some ministry. 👍
With a costing of trillions of Naira..to a company that the current President either owns or has interest in (Hitech Construction)..all I see here is politicians trying to recoup funds that they either spent on the last elections or in preparation for 2027..in all honesty I fail to see the viability in this coastal road project..why build a new road destroying hundreds of businesses in its wake when Nigeria's existing road network and infrastructure is in need of dire repair..shouldnt a country be looking at maintaining its current road network..tragically like everything in Nigeria there's more than meets the eye to this supposed coastal highway..
Very negative mindset
@@mayowai4real you ended up not making any point... weldone 😊
@@mayowai4realdon't mind him
Do you listen to the interview? The minister just told that the company is the only company that have shown experience because they’ve diner in the past . Please let us think before making comments
@@tunjicollins3677 as an adult does that make sense to you ?..of all of the construction companies operational in Nigeria..of all of the construction companies with marine environment construction experience in Africa..its ONLY Hitech Construction that can build this road right ?..without comparison or benchmarking..I actually posted this comment some weeks ago and now even the House of Reps have began to see reason and as you may know the award of contract has been scheduled for hearing and review by the FHOR..
Great comments and with great analysis .
Senator David umahi remains the best performing minister ever I'm not from Ebonyi but i urge Nigerians to support him in the 2031 general election for better Nigeria
Him and Keyamo
On like the FCT minister we are seeing person way sabi work ❤❤❤❤ kudos to my able ex governor man of wisdom ❤
You must to be very stupid is Wike not working
That's a lie. All Abuja residents are praising Wike. Maybe you live elsewhere. Everything can't be done in one stretch. The government is still less than a year
He can definitely make the best president from the southeast than anyone else.
@@giwaahmed5961he is my former governor I can beat my chest and tell u, he can do well, we miss him here in Ebonyi state.
What happened to the FCT minister? When you want to criticize make sure you have knowledge of what you are talking about. Hate wan kill una. Abj was a local town beofore Wike came onboard.
Thank you Mr Umahi, 17:22 you can't be intimidated. The benefits from lag- cal coastal rd will far outweigh what Landmark gives. Moreover Landmarks resort can be redesigned and coordinated with the road at completion.
This man know work , wise man from the east
So it's no more a PPP project? But EPC+F? Hmmmm
Oga u know what your doing abeg!
Buhari / fashola former minister are very cruel. 8years nothing to write about...
Oh really? Was 2ND NIGER BRIDGE AND LAGOS/IBADAN EXPW OR THE RAILWAY SYSTEM UNDER BUHARI IS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT?
That's for your own opinion only, to say nothing to write about Buhari/Fashola as Minister of work, it's because you're not update yourself todate.
I am a construction worker, I know what Fashola did in South East, South West, and Northern Part of this Country..
May you have to go back and find out, so you will have something to write about Buhari/ Fashola on Nigeria Roads.
I completely disagree with you my fellow Nigerian, Fashola has a Minister of Works did tremendously well, Umahi has a natural fit, who knows the Construction Game better is uplifting the Standard set by Fashola . That's just it .
@@user-cf4ev2dg4t I am an engineer, Buhari/Fashola continued to do the same things expecting different results and unfortunately, it didn't work out( they needed to think outside the normal). You can't make a lawyer minister of works just as you can't make an engineer minister of health or Justice. Engineering is a highly specialised field and probably one of the oldest professions with a lot of technicalities only understood by engineers. I blame COREN for their ineptitude.
@@chijikeopara7110 Nounsense. Who constructed 2nd Niger Bridge and Lagos/ibadan expw . Apap/oshodi expw and many other projects around the country? Abeg open your eyes and stop being mischievous.
Oke nwa Adunshiegbe,we are entirely proud of you.
I'm quite impressed with Umahi's approach to this interview. Answers were detailed and straightforward, kudos!
You are a good man Dave may the lord help you to succeed and finish well
Welldone honourable minister engr.dave umahi,but please let the coastal highway project start in at least three section simultaneously,that is the only way to get it done on time..Thanks.
Exactly, and that is what the minster said.
Honorable minister Dave is one of finest FG minister keep the good job up this project is for common man in Nigeria .
While discussing Coastal Highway it is equally important that the honour able Minister of Works should look into extension of Warri Itakpe rial line to Abaji or Gwagwalada. This will provide southern easy an secure access to Abuja.
you'll not understand, federal capital territory will be relocating to Lagos . Abuja will is not important
A wise man from far East...you're the best...
His own people don't rate because he is not in their party . This is a great Nigerian right here and I am proud
@@andreicossack5679 As a politician, I don't like him, but as a professional engineer, he is detailed and committed to innovations.
If most of talk, it seems that you people reason through ur anus,first and foremost,where is it written that everyone,race or tribe must be in one party? Secondly how does ur favourite party favoured you and ur ilks?
If i know where where you're from I'll tell you whether ur people are mostly hit all these years in this economic malaise that pervades the country in the last 9years especially @andreicossack5679
@@chijikeopara7110 if he was in LP . You would like him . If only Nigerians can stop thinking parties and look at individuals
@@chijikeopara7110 Our major problem in Nigeria now is political bias. That's he only advantage the military govt has over civilian govt.
UMAHI!!! THE MAKING OF A FUTURE PRESIDENT.
Umahi is coming! Stay tuned.
This man is intellectually good
Engnr Dave Umahi, I really appreciate your efforts in this government, you're one of the brilliant ministers, this administration rely upon.
Please IBADAN / ABEOKUTA RD. Is a longtime project, that's begging for Federal Govt attention.
This is one of the oldest road constructed by Late PA Obafemi Awolowo, in the Era of Western Region.
Pls road is in deplorable condition and the population of residents in that area now from Omi Adio axis to Abeokuta boundry is over 10million with more than million houses.
Pls try and check it out and you will see that if the project is considered, it will boost commercial activities between Oyo and Ogun state. Thanks so much in anticipation sir.
This is the first time I could see Nigeria has a Minister of Works...he know the job per excellent...
Because the president put the square pen into a square hole. kudos to both
A
Umahi.knows the job and the ingredients
Brilliant minister!
Carry on like that!
Umahi is a direct square peg in a square hole. Great one minister
THANKS TO OUR ACTION MINISTER OF WORKS.....BRAVO.....AND PLS BENUE STATE IS IN DIRE NEED OF THE CONCRETE ROADS...
Does this Coastal-Highway has the provision of oceanic guards to protect the Highway? What about it rest rooms along the Highway? Does it also comes with the Tollgates along the Highway line and diversions to other states and cities along the Highway? The Honourable Minister needs to enlighten the Nigeria people more on this project in both social and economic viability for the country.
Thanks for the foresight and visionary project.
Listen to interview....the same company set up a barrier for eko Atlantic, they specialist in the field
All the best sir. Hope the project is finished without a bloated budget. Great idea
Bravo....well done Hon Minister. Your delivery is super and technically sound. Politics apart, putting the right people of sound minds in the right places will get this country somewhere. Carefully, citizenry should watch out for performing ministers in this administration and give them support. Nigeria will get there.....we will get it right.
Why is Umahi talking about intimidation by the CEO of Landmark? The man is doing what he's supposed to do to douse the social media chatter. If Umahi believes that it was an attempt to intimidate him, then it's quite disappointing.
The rest of his presentation was a pleasure to listen to.
Iboman threatening to destroy the property of another Iboman while the rest watch in utmost amazement.
The one with state power behind him is saying the other, a victim of power play is intimidating him. How?
David is a king ❤❤
I am in my early 40s and I cant even recall, recount and recollect numbers like this man. I am happy the president has invited sound and capable hands in government.
Bumps on a highway is not the answer
NoFederal government should not turn the matter into war with the people whose businesses are on the way. The honorable minister should be empathetic about the situation. Kudos to the competent honorable minister
I have no doubt about his capabilities. ❤❤❤
Round peg in a Round hole.
Where are the wailers.?
Anything that will favour the Southern part must be politicized by them.
Atiku Abubakar didn't raise an alarm when ex-President Buhari used borrowed money to extend Railway to Niger Republic.
Coastal Highway has come to be.
May God bless the president and the Honorable Minister of Works... Senator David Umahi.
Our potential president of Nigeria in the nearest future by God's grace.
Peace.
Thanks sir
This is what hoppens when you give the right persons the right position. One can see how he is tackling the questions…..easy ! Why? Because this man knows what executing infrastructure project is all about. Not the Powerpoint presentations and all the soft talk about “strategy…bla…bla..bla” but the hard core boots on ground project execution.
a great and workaholic minister
Well done bro!
Na President chooses ministers oh, no body is giving the President his flowers!
As an Engineer.
I believe Umahi at every time.
God bless you sir
Right person in the right job
Atiku is a tribal bigot.
Atiku is in pain because he really needs to rule so he is trying to manipulate people
No he is not.Atiku is detribalised, his main wife is Yoruba.
Everyone knows, even the dead can not allow him to rule Nigeria
I am happy he asked questions. We need to put our leaders on their toes . Democracy needs an active opposition. We will get there
Atiku will never rule Nigeria.He is a tribal bigot,he actually deployed this same tactic during the election in the North but failed woefully with his fellow Fulani man Buhari.
We need this kind from all the ministers. At least, this clarifies some issues.
Although, I seriously doubt the possibility of completing the project in 8 years as the minister mentioned. Anyways, goodluck with them.
I think he was only talking about the 4 sections he mentioned. About 150km in total
When Buhari was constructing rail to another country Atiku didn’t say anything but because this is in the south he is now speaking
Calabar has a deep sea port for trade not a road that seconds it as a non entity.
Remember Calabar used to be the capital of NIgeria before Lagos.,
This man is a well calculated Minister, He knows his Job intoto kudos chief
Atiku must be against because it is not in the north.
I will advice you to keep receipts of that project because any government that will come tomorrow will definitely send EFCC to you .
A round peg in a round hole - David Umahi
A great minister ❤
Mr Minister we still waiting for you sir to go through Ajase-ipo road to ilorin the abandon project at ignomina crying for help via media
Pls let revote this government for finishing this project
A man that respect his name. A man that fears God. We are proud of Senator Omahi!
Expert in project deployment!!
Sound minister of our time
Good projects.thank to tinubu administration.This project will not Only bring business to Calabar also to bordering country such as Cameroon.❤❤❤❤
My thought. It will open up calabar sea port for business
Genius
❤Square peg in a square hole. You're the only minister in this administration. Power minister is there telling us to off our AC and fridge
Nice one
Seee as this Minister quoting numbers and figures without looking at papers or screen... this man earn more respect from me... incredible
He's good with numbers, some of us are like that. He even confirm it on Arise when Rufai was trying to bullsh*t him.
Best politician in Nigeria 🇳🇬
If the high way was in the North, would they make noise and complaints over it?
Una still dey wonder why can't seem to be moving forward.
Thank God for removing the intelligent man from Senate to practice what he does best kudos Sir Dave❤
The scrolling information below the screen had me confused about how recently this interview was down. Why is an award of 2022 being scrolled beneath a recent report?
Best minister so far
He is actually replicating his good work in transformation of Abakilik from Local Government Headquarters to a state capital. This is a State where previous Government and Governors cry of lack of fund and did virtually nothing through out their tenure. Congratulations Dave Umahi
Mehn, I so much respect and admire this minister. If he ever gets to be presented as a presidential candidate in this country, he has my vote. This is placing a round peg in a round hole. He answered all the questions accordingly & professionally. This is the caliber of men I can follow blindly. Well done sir.
You can't put bumps in what is designed motor/express ways, bumps are used in build up residential areas
This Ministre is not a joke! He is at work ! Cudos to you Sir.❤
The cost line road is a very good idea and should go on completed the landmarks group will not be affected according to the minister of works the road have more opportunity for public interest and investment.
Properties along the corridor is a good idea . Booms business. Settle the people that are affected with regards to encroachment on the right of way
We need the University of Transport to be relocated to the North central of Nigeria where it's most suitable for Nigerians. Umahi is one of Nigeria's best & unparalleled future president in the near future. Kudos !!!
He's an Igbo man 😂😂😂😂

I think the introduction of AI speed cameras will curb overspending significantly.

More grace to you sir. I play for long life and prosperity. More wisdom
All i can say is, "Timber and Caliber" but don't outshine your master abeg
Very brilliant mind, thanks our minister
Train track is a good idea. We have a corridor from Lagos to Accra where the Nigeria side is a gory story. Because I had to go by buy Road to Ghana by choice shoving my flight ticket to understand what happens along that corridor, it was really an experience and Nigeria side or harbour area just have palms while Others converted theirs to great and productive harbour and resort .
This is a Lagos project..
No matter how much is put there...politicians talking
700km of road can be done in 3 years if we are serious. But politics wont allow them to do it..
If that road gets completed by 3yrs, I will be here to listen to their excuses
Isn't this the same man that said Hitec will fund the project based on BOT? Now they are talking about spending 1trn on how many kilometers again? Rogue Administration!!!
I think landmark will be safe
Says who? Kuramo will be affected than landmarks, why only landmarks noise ?
80 miles per hour on a bridge is unacceptable. It is too fast. Why?? 50 to 60 miles per hour is sufficient to clear the volume of traffic load. What research led to the chosen 80 per hour? Senseless!!
Km per hr not miles per hr
Don't mind him/her nigeria is on km not mile
80 km/ph is too much
Ur mouth sweet well well, i wish you guys well in this wonderful project but shouldn't be used for politics oo
This argument is cheap...such project should go to open bidding to be fair. He told us to tell him any other company? Nawa oooooo all these English to say Hi tech na Tinubu hand man
It's only in Lagos that no other governor is worth the credit for achievements other than Tinubu.
I don't care about the cost, if they can finish it before 8 years, I will be happy. Many government has given contract with out doing the project. The money goes to there puket.
Nigeria from administration of Muhammad Buhari, have been seeing good work on our roads through Capable and Zero Corrupt Ministers of Work that started through Babatunde Fashola and now David Umahi all these under APC Government.
On our Capital Projects especially On the Roads, Nigerians are seeing different from 16 years of PDP on Nigeria Roads work and of 8-9 years of APC on Nigeria roads.
Is this a pro minister station. The journalist seems to be taking a brief ....more of a special feature/focus than an interview.
You left east west run to start a similar one all for campaign purposes pathetic 😢
