Umahi spoke in Akure, the capital of Ondo, on Thursday during a town hall meeting stakeholders’ meeting organized by the ministry of works. The Minister stated that the administration inherited over 2,000 uncompleted road projects worth trillions of Naira, but the government has terminated 10 contracts and eager to terminate more of erring companies.
