FERMA’s Managing Director, Engr. Emeka Agbasi, highlighted the challenges facing the agency, including inadequate funding, poor road conditions, and abuse of roads by Nigerians. He emphasized the need for adequate funding to enable the agency to increase its activities in preventive maintenance and other interventions.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on FERMA, Sen. Hussaini Babangida, expressed concerns about the practice of constructing new roads without adequate measures to maintain existing ones. He advocated for alternative sources of funding to increase funding for the road sector.

The proposed budget breakdown includes:

– *Personnel Costs*: N4.9 billion

– *Overhead Costs*: N33.468 billion

– *Capital Costs*: N26.487 billion

FERMA has assured that it is committed to transparency and accountability, using data-driven decision-making and regular community engagement in road maintenance planning.
