Our Roads Are Now Motorable – FERMA Boss

[Shola Sholaz]

Efforts of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency FERMA, to make Nigerian roads accessible,  may have started paying off. This is because. power turbines are now being transported by roads, a situation the Managing Director of FERMA, Gabriel Amuchi, an Engineer said was achieved because Nigerian roads have become motorable.
.
Amuchi made the claims at the  Kudenda Industrial District, Kaduna, during the delivery of the last batch of power turbines, generators and sundry equipment meant for the 215 megawatts National Independent Power Project NIPP.  The turbines were transported to Kaduna from Onne Port in River State by road, a distance of about 950 kilometres.
.
He stated that Government in its wisdom, reasoned that by repairing the entire road stretch from Port Harcourt to Kaduna, will not only make the movement of the power equipment possible but the benefits will affect other sectors of the economy.
.
"FERMA would no longer allow roads to get to the point of disrepair before the potholes are fixed.
