Minister of Works, Engr. Nweze David Umahi has praised President Bola Tinubu for embarking on infrastructure renewal and reviving ailing economy through transformative leadership initiatives. 

He stated this on Thursday during the commemoration of the second-year anniversary of Renewed Hope Agenda led by President Tinubu in Abuja. 

News Rider reports that President Tinubu was inaugurated as the 16th President of Nigeria on May 29, 2023, amidst pomp and pageantry at the Eagle's Square, Abuja. 

Umahi noted that revolutionising road infrastructure in the works sector, meant to foster economic growth and enhance the quality of life for all Nigerians is bearing fruit. 

He informed that within two years in office, the President granted unprecedented attention to road infrastructure through emergency interventions on failed roads and bridges nationwide. 

The minister stated that Tinubu increased funding of inherited ongoing projects, introduced policies and innovations that guaranteed quality, speed and value for money. 

Umahi was excited that the President initiated the construction of legacy projects that will expand the transportation ecosystem and revive Nigeria's economy for sustainable prosperity, describing him as a leader with enduring commitment to a prosperous Nigeria.

He said: "Your Excellency, our dear President, we are delighted by the momentum in your administration's vision to give our nation a strong sense of identity and to build the future and potential  of her people.

"Within the shortest record time, your administration has made incredible marks in changing the inhibitive narrative of leadership deficits that hamper national progress; you have  remained unwavering in tackling a range of accumulated and deeply  rooted problems of poor infrastructure and other socio-economic challenges that face the nation.

"As we celebrate this eventful anniversary full of great accomplishments, we pray to God Almighty to continue to bless and prosper your vision to put Nigeria on the path to irreversible progress. Once more congratulations, Mr. President."
