President Muhammadu Buhari had lauded Governor Dave Umahi’s infrastructure drive, describing the Ebonyi leader as an engineer with repute.
Buhari said this on Thursday while inaugurating the 700-metre length twin-flyover (also called King David’s University flyover).
At Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area, President Buhari equally inaugurated the Cancer Centre at the King David University of Medical Sciences. The project was built and equipped by the Federal Government under TETFUND.
During his two-day visit to the South-East state, Buhari is also expected to commission other projects at the state-owned varsity in Uburu. These included a twin flyover, a 12-kilometre dualised Federal Road, from Mbu, Enugu State to Uburu, the university building and the University Medical Hospital, facilities and equipment.
On his part, Governor Umahi thanked Buhari for approving the funding of the Centre, saying that the facility is one of the best around the globe.
Umahi also appreciated the President for acceding to the request of the state government on the Federal Government to take over the running of the teaching hospital of the university.
