My people, wetin we dey hear for this Naija no be small matter! The Federal Government don carry vex face come talk to China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) and im sister company, China Harbour Operation and Maintenance Company (CHOMC). Dem don dey slack for the road project matter, and now dem don give dem serious warning and seven days ultimatum to do the needful!
Dis warning come after Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, gather plenty big men from the Ministry and those Chinese firms for Abuja. Dem gather talk about wetin dey happen for our roads, especially the Mararraba–Keffi–Akwanga–Lafia–Makurdi Dual Carriageway. As e be, people don dey complain plenty say dust dey scatter their health all because of dis construction wahala. Na so Umahi carry matter go serious level begin shout, say make dem do something before e pass the market.
For area of Makurdi–9th Mile–Enugu road, wey dey suffer from too much dust, Umahi talk say make contractor start to implement dust control measures, wey include soil stabilization, sharp sharp! E even talk say if dem no fix am within seven days, make dem carry the project go home. E get as e be!
Na only that one dey ground o! As Umahi dey follow up with dem, he don notice say some parts of the road wey don finish under past government don dey fall apart already. Wetin dey happen there? Na im make am talk say the first five kilometers of the road must be milled and reconstructed with concrete, and make dem do am within seven days, no jokes!
Umahi no wan hear word! E don lay down order say all road signs decoders, junctions, and everything wey concern safety must dey intact after dem finish work. If dem no do am well, e go get serious consequences. He don talk am clear say Tinubu administration no go tolerate any form of slackness.
Meanwhile, as e dey happen for Lagos too, e get as the 7th Axial Road project dey move. Umahi don express serious concern about the slow pace wey dem dey work, because site mobilization no dey even show face. Even though dem don pay plenty money for mobilization, dem never still see proper machinery or serious work start. Na only dust and chatter they blow for there.
Umahi don make am clear say if dem no step up dem game, the government go recover the funds wey dem don pay. E talk say dem go apply all the right sanctions if dem continue vex people.
As he dey summarize the gist, Umahi assure Nigerian people say government go continue to protect lives, ensure the roads dem dey work well and get value for all dem investment wey dem dey push for public funds. He talk say dem dey serious to turn Nigeria infrastructure around, sharp sharp. So, Nigerian people, make we dey watch, we go see wetin go happen next!
