Umahi charged the contractors to continue to work for the future of Nigeria by making sacrifices that would support the economic recovery plans of the Renewed Hope administration of Mr. President.
He also commended the association for their support, encouragement, and cooperation to the new policies and innovations of the Federal Ministry of Works. He expressed the commitment of the Ministry in giving the indigenous contractors a level playing ground and equal opportunities in the award of contracts in the Ministry.

Speaking on the sponsored blackmail and falsehood, he said it was often published by detractors.
“It was not unexpected for a person who wants a positive change from ‘the business as usual’ attitude of some contractors”.
Earlier, the spokesperson of the Association,Alhaji Abdul- kareen Smith said that they came as a delegation of the contractors drawn from the six Geo-politcal Zones of the Federation to convey their unwavering solidarity to the Minister of Works and support to all the policies and programmes of the Ministry under the Renewed Hope administration.
