Minister of Works, David Umahi

The Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has won the 2024 Igbo Man of the Year organised by Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural group.

The Minister was governor of Ebonyi State for eight years and defected to the All Progressives Congress after winning his second term on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.

He emerged as the winner after surpassing prominent names like former presidential candidate Peter Obi, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu.

In a statement signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Sunday said “Umahi’s exemplary performance as Minister of Works has set him apart.

“His leadership in spearheading the rehabilitation of critical federal roads in the Southeast, utilizing innovative cement technology, and creating sustainable job opportunities has earned him widespread acclaim.

“These efforts have not only enhanced infrastructure but also addressed security concerns along major highways, fostering a safer and more connected region.

“Additionally, Umahi’s strategic diplomacy in maintaining a harmonious relationship between the Southeast and the Federal Government has been a game-changer.

“His ability to prevent regional disruptions during nationwide protests highlighted his commitment to peace and progress, further solidifying his reputation as a visionary leader,” .

Ohanaeze Ndigbo stated that its selection process involved a thorough evaluation based on its newly developed “Igbo Performance Perimeters and Indexes.”

Ohanaeze Ndigbo noted while several leaders showcased remarkable accomplishments, Umahi’s performance in infrastructure development and regional advocacy outshone the rest.

Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, was named the second-best performer among National Assembly members.
Governors Peter Mba of Enugu and Francis Nwaifuru of Ebonyi were also celebrated for upholding local government autonomy and ensuring transparency in governance.

The statement further informed that “This recognition is a testament to the power of purposeful leadership.

“We urge all leaders to emulate Umahi’s commitment to progress and use their positions to serve the Southeast and Nigeria at large .”
