The Project Manager further recalled that in 2015 when Umahi was elected Governor of Ebonyi State, he turned the state into a massive construction site, tackling decades of infrastructural decay and setting new standards for public works across Nigeria.
“His landmark projects include the introduction of concrete roads, the construction of a new Government House, the internationally acclaimed Ebonyi Shopping Mall, the Ecumenical Centre, David Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital (DUFUTH), the Federal University of Health Sciences (DUFUHS), Chuba Okadigbo International Airport, Margaret Umahi International market, and over 16 flyovers—all of which became symbols of progress, pride, and possibilities in governance”, he stated.
Ngwu further prayed God to continue to give him strength, wisdom, and good health as he continues to serve the nation with distinction.
