Umahi says. “In Paris most of the roads were done with interlocking tiles, as you go in, it will make noise

According to The Guardian, it was made known that during the interview, Umahi was asked why he was insisting on concrete roads which is believed to be more expensive than asphalt. When he was responding to this, he said Nigeria is not an expert yet in the use of concrete roads, but gave credit to the current President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for pioneering such infrastructure.

He noted that when the President served as the Governor of Lagos State, he faced challenges related to high water tables in areas like Lekki and Victoria Island. These regions are known for their high-water table, which makes traditional road construction difficult.

To address this, the then-Governor (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) introduced the use of interlocking tiles, a form of concrete road technology which has proven durable. He alleged many of those roads remain in good condition to this day.

Further talking, he said, “I was in Paris and most of the roads were done with interlocking tiles. And as you go in, it will be making noise.
