Federal Roads: Gov. Buni Charges House Committee On FERMA
By Usman Bello, Damaturu.
As the rainy season sets in, Yobe state Governor Hon. Mai Mala Buni CON COMN, has charged the House of Representatives Committee on Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) on rehabilitation of dilapidated federal roads in the state.
Governor Buni made the charge in Damaturu today when the House Committee On FERMA paid him a courtesy visit.
He said the bad portion of the roads constitute a weapon for crime as motorists are forced to slow down on the bad spots of the roads and making them easy prey to criminals.
‘It therefore becomes necessary to fix the roads to improve security across the state” Buni said.
The Governor listed Bara-Gulani, Buni-Bara, kaliyari-Bayamari, and Geidam-Maine Sorowa federal roads among those in need of rehabilitation.
Earlier, the Chairman od the House Committee On FERMA is Hon. Aderemi Abasi Oseni, said the committee was on assessment tour of roads in the region.
He explained that the committee had taken note of the areas of concern on the federal roads and would work towards their immediate rehabilitation.
He commended Gov. Buni for the construction of road networks in the state, saying, this would boost economic growth of the state.
