Infrastructure agencies in Nigeria have initiated various road rehabilitation and maintenance projects across different states. In Delta State, the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) has been inspecting works on key corridors including the Kwale–Umutu and Asaba–Illah–Ebu roads, while the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) commenced reconstruction of 15.4 kilometers of the Sapele-Benin Expressway to alleviate traffic gridlock.

Following these efforts, FERMA expanded its activities to Ondo State through the Routine and Preventive Maintenance Works Programme (RPMWP). This initiative focuses on the Owo–Ikare–Arigidi–Ekiti State border road, involving vegetation clearing and drainage desilting to improve visibility, prevent pavement damage, and enhance security by removing potential hiding spots for criminals.
