The Federal Roads Maintenance Agency has addressed the Federal Government to render more funding for road projects.
The Managing Director of the FERMA, Mr Nurudeen Rafindadi stated that the decline of good roads and the increase in bad roads could be linked to inadequate funding.
He made this known in Owerri, Imo State, at the agency’s annual lectures and awards.
Rafindadi stated that budgetary release to the agency had continued to drop, adding that this gave rise to increase in bad stretches along federal highways
A FERMA engineer, Mr Chukwuemeka Maduagwu, urged staff of the agency to ensure that they continued to be dutiful and efficient in their work.
He added that there was no substitute for hard work.
