FERMA now has funds for road repairs -Abe

The Senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, has lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for ensuring the release of funds to the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) for the maintenance and repair of federal roads across the country.

Abe, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on FERMA, made the commendation yesterday while speaking to newsmen shortly after inspecting repair works on Ayam/Obuku/ Umuosi/ Obeaku and Mgboji roads in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State.

He stated that more roads would receive the attention of FERMA as funds had been made available towards making roads in the country conducive for motorists.

The senator said FERMA as an interventionist agency would continue to deliver quality roads.

He said, “Wherever we can intervene to make life livable for Nigerians we should do so as quickly as possible. So for me, am just full of gratitude and I just want to encourage FERMA because this didn’t happen here alone, it happened in several places across this country where people could not move and FERMA intervened.

And more of that is going to happen in the weeks ahead because the president has authorized the release of funds to FERMA.”
