The Federal Ministry of Works and MTN Nigeria have agreed on a May 10, 2026, deadline for the completion of the Enugu-Onitsha dual-carriageway project, funded by MTN under the Tax Credit Scheme. This is just as the Minister of Works, David Umahi, called on cement manufacturers to reduce the price of cement to N7,000.
In a statement, the Special Adviser on Media to the Honourable Minister of Works, Orji Uchenna Orji, quoted Umahi as emphasising the need for quality and speedy delivery of the project.
Umahi noted that the Ministry has the responsibility to ensure that contractors comply with project specifications, and warned that MTN would be held responsible if the road fails after construction due to poor workmanship.
