Ahead of Yuletide celebrations, the Federal Government has commenced rehabilitation and maintenance of Trunk A roads to ease movement of passengers and goods across the country.

Speaking during a programme, ‘Flag-Off Operations: Connect to Your Destination’, in Karu Local Council of Nasarawa State, Managing Director of Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Chukwuemeka Agbasi, said the agency is committed to providing well-maintained roads for users as they travel across the country during the festive season.

He urged road users to adhere to traffic rules and drive cautiously as the year ends.

“The purpose of this rehabilitation is to make our roads drivable and ensure a pleasant journey for users moving from one location to another; maintaining the roads in a serviceable condition,” he said.

Agbasi added that having good roads does not warrant over speeding.

Acting FERMA field engineer in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), George Offor, said: “The essence of this programme is to guarantee a safe and smooth journey for all travelers throughout this period. Our intention is to patch all potholes on this road, allowing vehicles to travel smoothly without any issues. We urge road users to cooperate with us, understanding that road works might cause temporary inconveniences. We promise a safe travel experience in a short time.”

The Outpost Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Goshen, Gidado, commended FERMA for providing effective service in the area, urging road users to adhere to traffic rules for a safe journey.
