FERMA Begins Repair Of Abuja- Keffi Road Where Alex Badeh Was Killed

FERMA  Speaks On Repair Of Abuja-Keffi Road

The Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) is carrying out thorough rehabilitation on some failed and critical portions of the Abuja-Keffi dual carriageway.

Managing Director of the agency Engr. Nurudeen Rafindadi, stated this while inspecting ongoing repair works by his men from the Mogadishu Cantonment Bridge to Maraba stretch of the road.

Recall that it was the same Abuja-Keffi road, that  Alex Badeh, a former chief of defence staff in Nigeria was recently murdered by gunmen.

The FERMA boss who was represented by the Road Maintenance Engineer in charge of the FCT, Engr. Ambrose Omame, said the current road rehabilitation programme is part of the nationwide exercise announced by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, in December 2018 at the presidential villa after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

On why the agency is carrying out the work at night, he explained that, “with the nature of the ever-busy road any attempt to carry out such comprehensive work during day will amount to punishing the residents.”

The work currently going on includes the removal of failed portions on the Kugbo slope and the immediate laying of fresh asphalt.
