This is the type of ministers we need in Nigeria, minister that knows what he's doing. Not people who will seat in office and be giving orders, KUDOS TO MR UMAHI
I’m from Ebonyi and this man is doing you “the more you look, the less you see”. He did fantastic in his first term in office but after that it was back to square one. He’s also a sweet talker and he’s desperate for national recognition
Abeg keep quiet jare. Which type of minister? You are so gaullible that in Nigeria today a politician will talk like this and you take him serious. What a shame Wetin we never hear from them. Fashola said so many promising things when he was works minster in the last retrogressive regime under Buhari then Power (Electricity)... how did it end up, Amaechi same thing. They are all wolfs in sheep's clothing.
Senator Umahi just displayed his technical expertise at another level. I love his calmness and ability to attend to questions raised without being personal. As much as Rufai was trying to bring out the need for significant financial transparency, he also needs to have some sense of respect when dealing with people like Sen. Umahi. My opinion is based on the fact that their guest has proven and kept proving logically and sensibly that he knows his onions. Ruben Abati made some rude and unprofessional remarks in the course of asking his questions. He needs to be less carefree with his "lighter mode" remarks. In all, good job to everyone out there in the studio.
What did the minister say that u are hailing him,in terms of cost the amount paid is outrageous and that lame excuse of giving it to a company that has experienced which experience does Hitech has.
The president didn't make a mistake by appointing you a minister. You're actually making the nation proud. The interior minister, aviation and fct are also trying im proud of my nation.
This is my first time of listening to Umahi and I can say, politics aside, Umahi is very very sound. He has a deep knowledge of his engineering profession. He took everyone away with his professional jargons. Forget the gra gra exhibited by Rufai, Umahi got him mesmerized with everyone. You need to be on the same technical level with Umahi to understand him.😂
My comment is that you will never fail by His grace. Wisdom, technical knowledge, and articulation of points are not scarce in your mouth. This government would not fail by God's grace
I commend Minister David Umahi. I have to say, President Tinubu made the best decision to appoint him. Actually, I would say he is the best Minister in his administration. If we had more ministers of his caliber in his administration, things would be a lot better.
I am not a fan of Tinubu... but so far the ministers of Works, Aviation and aero space, and interior have been splendid in their fields... especially this minister of works. He is not an "office minister", he is on the field minister, and deserves supports and accolades.
Wow. This man is too good in accounting. He was so detailed in answering all the question. Even the Rufai that thought he knows it all was dumbfounded.
Good for you to have all the respect for him. He is not doing any magic he is simply doing his job as a minister. Quoting all the numbers and materials to be use does not make him a genius he is an engineer and should know what he is saying. Nigerians are hungry and need better roads and other amenities
@@mike001alooool we will celebrate him… if we had all of our political appointees were these committed and knowledgeable we won’t be here. So yes we will celebrate him!🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@okeoja4447what a pity that you don't see beyond your nose it's about Nigeria and bad governance. This so called minister is only doing his job. Nigeria problem is we are too used to bad leadership so we accept whatever is thrown at us. He couldn't give the figures for both the train n road construction why? He should have all that at hand before coming to the tv station. Nigerians wake up and open your eyes
Sen, Engr, Apostle Dave Umahi ,I am proud to be your brother ,you United Nigerians by your excellent performance and all the comments reflect that . This goes to show that all Nigerians want is outstanding leadership and tribalism will die naturally . Kudos to the Minister of works , your signature is speaking volume in infrastructural development in Ebonyi state .
Weldone Mr. Minister you are a very smart and respectful man. You are the best minister by far. Where was Atiku during Buhari's regime this was a man who denied Deborah Samuel. Shame on Atiku
This is very refreshing to actually have a competent minister in Nigeria. I totally support President Tinubu. I prefer you give the contract to tested and competent company rather than bidding who take the money and run. Atiku should keep his peace. This coastal road if completed would be the best mega project in Nigeria. Kudos minister Dave.
Engineer David Umahi, I like the quality of your job, you have a good taste, Thank you Engineer, please remember Enugu-Onitsha road that on death trap since 20 years ago, Owerri-Onitsha road is dead, please remember these two road.
Kudos to Engr Umahi, I have watched his interview with Channel tv and now Arise tv on this same project. And we can see that he has projected a lot of confidence in his ability to oversee a project of this magnitude. As an Engineer he has demonstrated his proficiency of been able to explain the technicalities of the road project according to his design, to ensure the quality and cost effectiveness of the project. This is why it is necessary that ministerial portfolios are given to experts who has the competence to handle each sector rather than just given ministerial positions to Lawyers. As an Engr myself, I congratulate him on his efforts so far in the ministry of works. However, my concern is that can the APC Government carry out this ambitious project and ensure that it is completed before the end of their administration.
Haba!!! Must it always be about ethnicity. If a person does well, just say he has done well instead of pegging it with an ethnic undertone. Engr Umahi is doing well.
Fantastic Minister. I like the openness and the willingness to engage and debate his decisions. That is the only way a nation can develop. This does not mean that his decision on Landmark Beach is right. He doesn't have the technical know-how to comment on the Economic and environmental impact of the project. What is Landmark without the beach?
Speaks well and clearly and nit all over the place. Even when subtly harassed by rufai and abati, he kept his composure and gave them his numbers and POV sufficiently
HE Engr. Senator David Umahi FNSE., COREN is a very sound Civil Engineer. I am impressed with the technical answers and solutions he provided in this interview. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR made a very good choice in appointing Engr. Dave Umahi the Minister of Works.
He said openly in 2019 that he was going to sell the refineries to his friends though and he was pretty serious about it. I believe him mentioning that now is also politics cos the owners of Hitech are also his friends just that they respect/prefer their 'landlord' relationship more than his
All Nigeria politicians are the same they only think about themselves, friends and family. They are demons not human Nigeria should be more than Dubia if we have Leadership
I have said times without number that Engineer Dave Umahi is a round peg in a round hole. He is experienced, professionally sound, policy proficient, pragmatic and very innovative to the core. Believe you me, the honorable minister is a blessing to this country
I am Thaddeaus Longduut, residing at the UK. I am always listening to, and watch your programmes. You programme with the Honourable Minister of works and Transport, Eng. Dave Umahi. He dodged the question on fairness of bidding. High Tech might be the best company to handle the project but why was it not open to others? So that we could have seen the openness of the bidding process. Why the Government felt HighTech has the competence, therefore, others weren’t. I think that is why His Excellency Atiku Abubakar drown his conclusions that it was a friendship contract between His Excellency, President Ahmed Tinubu and the Contractor.
Sincerely Engr. Dave Umahi is sound and his appointment as Minister of works is a top notch. Nevertheless, the initiation of Lagos/Calabar Coastal High Way is not a priority for now.
This is a minister with utmost transparency - his demeanour and social response is seamless and superb- he conveys himself very professional . He must have been raised in western country . A man par excellence .
"I am a Yoruba Lagosian, and this is the only minister in the Tinubu Administration that I respect and support. I have been following Engineer Dave since his time at Ebonyi State, and I was so impressed that I almost visited Ebonyi during my holidays just because of him."
Your opinion anyway... If you are truthful to yourself, you will add. 1. O. Tunji Ojo..... Interior minister (international passport oga). 2. Keyamo.... Aviation 3. Wike..... FCT 4. Finance/CBN.... 5. .... but ...
The minister's competence, intelligence and his technical capabilities as an engineer is far above what rufai could comprehend and grasp, dis one choke am 😂 Our works Minister is technically solid and sound, rufai, park for one side and open up your mind to see and apprecite better work. God bless senator Dave Umahi
This man is too sound, peaceful, honest, transparent, confidence, know what he is doing, patient and know what to do as a Nigerian. You are already a good legacy as a Minister and Engineer...Jehovah God continue bless you and your generation in the Name of Jesus Christ
I thought I was the only one that noticed that short demon, looking for loopholes and opportunities to shine at the expense of the Hon. Minister, but as you said, competence and expertise of the minister, caged him adequately. Rufai is a twerp
Rufai was just doing his job. Which is "ask the questions while the minister answers" If you pay attention to Rufai's questions, you will learn 1 or 2. In other words, you should concentrate more on applauding the minister for responding well which shows he actually knows the in and out of what he is doing. Remember, the minister included the Rail line gauge in his design as a yardstick to show superiority to the other design. However, the cost for that rail line was not included. Technically, that rail line guage alone might gulp 2times the current budget. There is no time for politics here.
This man is a good product! Square pen in Square hole! Thank you, Hon. Minister. You did not allow Arise crew to drag you into their useless politics, especially Dr. Abati who is a PDP journalist.
Well said my man. As always they thought they could bamboozle Dave umahi with their needless and sometimes absolutely unnecessary questions. I bet if the man wasn't able to lay bare his figures. it would have been a joke in their newsroom tomorrow. But they were all dazed
21:17 funny how the arise crew are stressing around numbers when they don’t have the technical knowledge to understand the man. Thank you Engineer David… Thank you so much for your continuous service. Love a man who knows his job😊
@@afolabitoye4393he's not asking for himself, that's why they are on TV after all. I read most of the comments here and I saw how almost everyone was commending the minister, that shows you that all these efforts are geared towards a better nation without sentimental attachment. Tinubu and his government aren't infallible so you people should learn to take criticism with a pinch of salt without needing to insult anyone
That comment... 'telling your people to jump into the lagoon'... was unguided and disappointing, coming from Abati. The minister is not only capable of dealing with some idiotic comments but really blessed. Thank God for someone like him running the ministry and serving Nigeria.
If a minister could successfully enter the den of Arise and came out applauded, it means that he is in good hands. One of the ministers to watch out for. I also see him as a president after Tinubu 8 years of God permits.
Rufai is always trying to bring this people down but the man sha knows and understand his job very well. This Umahi man na our best minister of work so far. May God bless him.
I must say im very impressed by the minister mostly where is says there will be an observation rooms in the roads,and to rufai you are good man,ur questions to the minister if the train track was included with the road is very nice to ask him..the minister was never accepting such questions and he couldn't immediately find a total figure to it..all together the interview was great one..we need people like the minister to hold sensitive positions like this where they can at least run us through statistics..thanks arisetv for ur good work..love u all
I salute all of them but we all look away about rufai question about cost of a project when the rail is not included yet we nigeria will pay and is still base on dollar rates all the same good interview.
If all ministers and governement leaders were to be subjected to such dense discourse, Nigeria will be on the right track, in circa 8- 10 yr. My respect to Umahi not only for knowing his numbers and stiff but for understanding that he is a servant leader and thus take no wuestions asked to heart. Bravo
I'm glad and hope Arise Tv team will agree David Umahi is very expensiveand knowledge about road construction. It's great to see individuals in leadership positions who possess the necessary skills, knowledge, expertise, and experience to excel in the roles given to him.. It's even more impressive when a leader is able to effectively utilize these qualities to drive positive change and achieve their goals. This just my thoughts to share!
Minister Dave Umahi, you are doing a fantastic job, one of our problems in Nigeria is that we as people never believe in doing things right the first time, which is exactly what you are doing. You are on the right track for the future of Nigeria. Thank You.
You know your onion sir. Ministerial and other appointments should be based on ones profession. Keep up the good work mr umahi. You did well in ebonyi so i know you will do as well in the federal level.
Good job honorable Minister of Works. I listened attentively to your explanations, and l’m impressed. My suggestion to you about all these projects is : Availability of “Rest Areas “ on these roads. The Rest Areas provides business that helps the economy of the State that the road is passing. The Rest areas will provide rest areas for trucks , drivers that would like to rest, and people that would like to use the restroom. This is important for the maintenance of these roads.
I am impressed with DAVID UMAHI, Nigeria must do everything to keep this man. He has his ducks in line... Dont go with Doggy companies, Berger, CCC, doing bad roads all over nigeria.
Thank you so much, Honourable Minister, for this elaborate detail. Those that align every project defence to political party Affiliate will now have a rethink. God bless Nigeria.
There is hope for Nigeria!!! I actually didn't know that this guy was this sound... i also listen to keyamu on aviation the other day... am convinced they know what they are doing. Well done 👏 ✔️
I’m super impressed at the expertise, knowledge and commitment the Minister for works has shown…by miles the most efficient minister thus far for me. Kudos to him and he must be encouraged and supported
This is the honest truth. I’ve been following him since when he was the Governor of Ebonyi and how he turned the State into a massive construction site. I’m from Kaduna and will definitely vote for him as President of Nigeria. May God protect him always..
I love the fact that a minister understands what he is doing. This is called transparency
Not transparency. Competitive bidding is transparency
This is the type of ministers we need in Nigeria, minister that knows what he's doing. Not people who will seat in office and be giving orders, KUDOS TO MR UMAHI
I’m from Ebonyi and this man is doing you “the more you look, the less you see”. He did fantastic in his first term in office but after that it was back to square one. He’s also a sweet talker and he’s desperate for national recognition

I must say im very impressed by the minister mostly where is says there will be an observation rooms in the roads,and to rufai you are good man,ur questions to the minister if the train track was included with the road is very nice to ask him..the minister was never accepting such questions and he couldn't immediately find a total figure to it..all together the interview was great one..we need people like the minister to hold sensitive positions like this where they can at least run us through statistics..thanks arisetv for ur good work..love u all
I salute all of them but we all look away about rufai question about cost of a project when the rail is not included yet we nigeria will pay and is still base on dollar rates all the same good interview.
This man is intelligent. Respects to him
If all ministers and governement leaders were to be subjected to such dense discourse, Nigeria will be on the right track, in circa 8- 10 yr. My respect to Umahi not only for knowing his numbers and stiff but for understanding that he is a servant leader and thus take no wuestions asked to heart. Bravo
This is an example of competence round peg in a round hole. 👏🏻
I'm glad and hope Arise Tv team will agree David Umahi is very expensiveand knowledge about road construction. It's great to see individuals in leadership positions who possess the necessary skills, knowledge, expertise, and experience to excel in the roles given to him.. It's even more impressive when a leader is able to effectively utilize these qualities to drive positive change and achieve their goals. This just my thoughts to share!
This minister of works is really good. He knows his onions. I enjoyed listening to him
Minister Dave Umahi, you are doing a fantastic job, one of our problems in Nigeria is that we as people never believe in doing things right the first time, which is exactly what you are doing. You are on the right track for the future of Nigeria. Thank You.
CAN WIKE SEE HIS FELLOW EX GOVERNOR. HE IS NOT BUSY FRUSTRATING THE CURRENT GOVERNOR OR SHOUTING HERE AND THERE .
THIS IS A SOUND GOVERNOR
Well spoken minister Dave Umahi. I love your sound knowledge of your field. Keep it up. God's grace. God bless Nigeria🙏🙏
This man knows his job.... God bless Nigeria
This is coming to the president from the Easter part.... I am proud to be an Engineer.....my humble minister you will succeed beyond expectations...
You know your onion sir. Ministerial and other appointments should be based on ones profession. Keep up the good work mr umahi. You did well in ebonyi so i know you will do as well in the federal level.
Thank you Senator, May God continue to bless you.
The way rufai is just looking at the minister 🙄🤣
Good job honorable Minister of Works. I listened attentively to your explanations, and l’m impressed. My suggestion to you about all these projects is : Availability of “Rest Areas “ on these roads. The Rest Areas provides business that helps the economy of the State that the road is passing. The Rest areas will provide rest areas for trucks
, drivers that would like to rest, and people that would like to use the restroom. This is important for the maintenance of these roads.
I am impressed with DAVID UMAHI, Nigeria must do everything to keep this man. He has his ducks in line... Dont go with Doggy companies, Berger, CCC, doing bad roads all over nigeria.
So impressed with Umahi, this is his call. Hopefully we get more ministers that know the job.
Well done Mr. Minister
Thank you so much, Honourable Minister, for this elaborate detail. Those that align every project defence to political party Affiliate will now have a rethink. God bless Nigeria.
Good presentation....we await tangible results
There is hope for Nigeria!!! I actually didn't know that this guy was this sound... i also listen to keyamu on aviation the other day... am convinced they know what they are doing. Well done 👏 ✔️
David Umahi is the man for the job , no doubt ,
I’m super impressed at the expertise, knowledge and commitment the Minister for works has shown…by miles the most efficient minister thus far for me. Kudos to him and he must be encouraged and supported
Nationalist not igbo before nigeria. Wonderful man who emerged from nigeria to be forced on the igbo land.
This is the honest truth. I’ve been following him since when he was the Governor of Ebonyi and how he turned the State into a massive construction site. I’m from Kaduna and will definitely vote for him as President of Nigeria. May God protect him always..
Active Minister David Umahi ,
God bless your vision for Pan Nigeria development.
