Edo Assembly urges FERMA to fix federal roads

The Edo House of Assembly has called on the Federal Road Maintenance Agency, FERMA, to urgently rehabilitate all the deplorable federal roads in the state ahead of the festive season.

The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku made the call on Monday during plenary session in Benin.

Agbebaku raised serious concerns over the deplorable state of the Benin-Auchi road,

He said the deplorable state had compelled motorists to use Oluku/NIFOR-Sobe road as alternative access routes to their respective destinations.

Agbebaku noted that FERMA should, as a matter of urgency, fix these deplorable federal roads before the festive season, as the roads had made traveling on the route a nightmare.

“The Benin-Agbor, Benin-Auchi, and Oluku-NIFOR/Sobe roads, amongst others, urgently need the attention of FERMA ahead of the festive season,” he said.
