The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has pointed to the ongoing reconstruction of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway as evidence of the Tinubu administration’s infrastructure achievements, saying the project has earned praise from road users despite attempts by some critics to downplay it.

Speaking during a public address aired by Channels Television on Thursday, July 2, 2026, Umahi said he recently came across a social media post in which an individual commended President Bola Tinubu for the quality of a newly reconstructed road, only to be told by others that the project was not the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.

According to the minister, the road in question was the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, which he described as the South-East’s equivalent of a “coastal road” because of its scale and quality.
