The Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has made a notable policy adjustment, ordering the dismantling of the newly introduced traffic demarcation on the First Niger Bridge following intense public outcry and safety concerns raised by motorists and commuters.

The initial decision to physically divide the bridge lanes during ongoing rehabilitation works had sparked widespread debates across social media and transport unions. Critics and safety experts expressed apprehensions regarding emergency access, the risks of total gridlock in the event of vehicular breakdowns, and narrow lane constraints.

Responding to the feedback, the ministry has moved to adjust the setup to ensure smoother traffic flow while rehabilitation continues.

What a waste of money. Umahi has a sordid history of wasting government money.

Let me read and know what he is talking about.

A professor of engineering indeed. The prodigal government. Wasting scarce resources on nothing.

I remember Tinubu’s supporters supporting the madness of putting a channellizing island on the old Niger bridge. We told them why that nonsense is never good. The called us names. Now what will they say? Dem no get shame anyway.

Naptu2

Typical of an average APC member. Incompetent people with their brain always full of sawdust.

Is that man truly an Engineer?

What a short-sighted personality saddled with the responsibility of work as a minister. My concern is on efficiency of projects being supervised or handled by this man.

Knowledge is priceless! Passing through school and being elevated to political positions without due knowledge is nothing but a fluke. What a 'star-shaped' pegged being used to stop water flow in a round pipe. No wonder the airport he built in Ebonyi is not functional

Professor in practice my foot!

He says he is a “Professor in Practice.”

More like a Professor of Trial and Error, the epitome of incompetence.

If this is what qualifies as expertise, then the Tinubu government has certainly turned incompetence into a governing philosophy.

Mumu professor in practice. Very ugly dotard!

Engr. Dave Umahi decision to remove part of the pavements(Not all) is to create emergency u-turn and easy access to toll any faulty vehicle without causing unnecessary obstruction to the motorist.

This is in the best interest of transits and public opinion.

I remember when I said Umahi was fooling around with that demarcation, some ignorant data Bois where ranting foolishly and ignorantly on this thread. Now Umahi is back to his senses. Just like when we were shouting about the coastal highway of fraud not having an Environmental Impact Assessment, empty vessels were here calling us haters, just small rain reset their foolish brains.

When we first raised the concern, some naysayers were here spewing trash. The same way we warned about the double prong effect of subsidies removal and forex floating.

Truly APC is full of IMCOMPETENT and poorly educated Agberos.

Arguing with a data boy is like shouting in a dark hall.

You can only hear the echo, not the details in the room.

That's why I've stopped arguing with them.

You entrust major projects to dimwits

Stop talking bullocks. Did you guys not support him when we pointed the stupidity in demarcating the pavement?

Why did he put it in the first place?
Even a layman knows that it will never be a good idea to demarcate that pavement.

nlfpmod, please to FP.

Exactly!!

I have never a people so evil, heartless, insensitive, without shame and brain like them

People are telling him to stop the demarcation, like what Obi told him not to abandon our old roads in the name of building coastal road that has no impacts for now.., rather than listening to wise advice he calls for debate.

More like a Professor of Trial and Error, the epitome of incompetence.

Umahi the 'Professor' now that you have come to your senses, who pays for that wasted fund used for that poorly thought out project? Eh?

Didn't we tell you that the demarcation would cause more damage than it intends to solve on that historic bridge?

Umahi, is it Nigerians that will pay for that wastage caused by your cluelessness?

Will you refund from your pocket?

You should be dealt with Walahi!

Where are those "Data Bois" defending Dave Umahi and the demarcation the day the argument was raised in this platform, FSBOperator,Yarimo and Co where are you guys?

Confused and half baked Engineer

Reckless bastards in power

You won't find yarimo burob seunmsg helinues madridguy Richtaiwo hachenoire that defended the illiterate umahi during the demarcation to defend him now

When i say apc and umahi dey very daft, say the bridge plan no allow design for median them dey attack me
This bridge for fall one day

When he told u guys that he's a professor in practice. What were u thinking?

I hope in the nearest future you people will not come back to cry for it to be brought back and cry marginalization

what was he thinking before he went ahead to demarcate that tiny narrow bridge?

Waste of money just to satisfy one man's ego

Complaining companies, food is here
