… as FG Ends Decades of Unfulfilled Promises and Fatal Accidents — Ohanaeze Lauds Tinubu and Umahi – OHANAEZE NDIGBO PRESS RELEASE – 25th March 2026
In an exalted proclamation reflecting the aspirations of the Igbo people, the apex Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, expresses its deep appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the timely and commendable completion of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, innovatively executed using advanced cement technology. This vital thoroughfare, long plagued by fatal accidents, severe traffic congestion, and economic setbacks, has undergone a remarkable transformation under President Tinubu’s stewardship. For over twenty-four years, the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway represented not only a logistical nightmare but also a dangerous deathtrap for Ndigbo. Today, it emerges as the “Best Easter Gift Ever to Ndigbo by President Tinubu.”

Ohanaeze Ndigbo recalls the earnest appeals of our people, whose impassioned pleas to previous administrations—those of former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan, and the late Muhammadu Buhari—were met with neglect. The urgent calls for repair and reconstruction of this critical route, which had made travel across the region increasingly hazardous, were ignored despite clear electoral promises. This long-standing neglect underscores the historical challenges faced by Ndigbo.
The reopening of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, announced by the Federal Ministry of Works and set for 31st March 2026, has been met with overwhelming joy and gratitude by the Igbo people. President Tinubu is not merely rewriting the narrative for Ndigbo; he is driving an infrastructural revolution in the Southeast. The newly revitalized dual carriageway, stretching 107 kilometers per side, stands as a landmark project with the potential to transform regional connectivity and positively influence socio-economic development.
As the nation and Ndigbo extend accolades to President Tinubu and the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Nweze Umahi, Ohanaeze Ndigbo respectfully urges the Federal Government to allocate additional funds for the expedited completion of ongoing federal road projects in the Southeast. Priority projects include the Markudi–Nsukka–Nightmile–Enugu Expressway and the Calabar–Abakiliki–Benue–Abuja Super Highway. Enhanced road infrastructure under President Tinubu’s leadership remains critical to the region’s progress and prosperity.
In conclusion, the reopening of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway is more than a logistical improvement; it is a beacon of hope and a symbol of development for the Igbo people. Ohanaeze Ndigbo commends President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Minister Dave Nweze Umahi for this achievement and anticipates continued momentum toward a connected and prosperous Southeast.
