Nigeria federal road maintenance efforts

Overview

The Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) has initiated several infrastructure projects across Nigeria to address road deterioration and improve transportation corridors.

In early August, FERMA commenced a two-week repair program on the 13-kilometre Kano Eastern Bypass. This project involves pothole patching, drainage desilting, and street-lighting repairs to support regional trade and reduce vehicle operating costs. This work follows criticisms from Senator Adams Oshiomhole regarding the neglect of major federal highways in Edo and Delta states.

By mid-August, FERMA launched a one-month routine and preventive maintenance project on the Zuba-Abaji-Kogi border road in the Federal Capital Territory. This initiative aims to extend the road's lifespan, mitigate rainfall damage through improved drainage, and enhance highway visibility to reduce accidents and insecurity.
