Umahi, in a press conference held on Tuesday attended by the State for Works, Mohammed Bello Goronyo, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Works, Engr. Folunso O. Adebiyi and key directors of the Ministry described as mischievous, insensitively misleading and injurious the statement credited to him in the publication by the newspaper.
