Governor David Nweze Umahi of Ebonyi State has constructed 23 Flyovers in less than seven years, says Nwaze Francis, Special Assistant on Media and Publicity.

Speaking with 9NEWS NIGERIA, Nwaze said Governor Umahi’s administration has constructed more than 10 flyovers, there are 13 flyovers and 10 of the flyovers are double, which means Ebonyi has a total of 23 flyovers. One of the flyovers is 30 span, about 500m while another one has 6 entries and exits.

According to Nwaze, “However, it should be understood that these flyovers are just a part of many other infrastructural, economic and educational transformations that are ongoing in Ebonyi State as the state takes pride in building the biggest and arguably the best and most beautiful Shopping mall in Nigeria – we call it the microcosm of the macrocosm of the Dubai Mall, the biggest and most beautiful international market that is fully deployed, the best and most beautiful University of Medical Sciences and hospital, an ongoing outstanding international airport, over 600 roads constructed on 8 inches concrete pavement, ongoing construction of an Olympic stadium, regular payment of civil servants, massive empowerment for the youths, farmers and widows; massive care for the less privileged, jobs creation and employment, security of lives and property, etc.”

“I also informed him that nothing has been done by Umahi’s administration that depicts any form of segregation of any zone or council areas as Governor Umahi believes in Ebonyi State as a state and not a segmented Ebonyi State. As the larger we are in unity, the better. This is equally his believe in Nigeria – a one united Nigeria.”

“It is best to say that Ebonyi State has become the rejected stone that is becoming the chief cornerstone as no stone is left unturned under Governor David Umahi.”

“After the above response, he lacked words for some time but later opined that in Umahi, a vibrant, active, and uniting president will emerge in 2023.”
