GONRONYO MEETS FERMA MANAGEMENT, ADVOCATES OPENNESS/STAKEHOLDERS’ ENGAGEMENT

By Dele Ogbodo

The Minister of State, Federal Ministry of Works, Mr. Bello Muhammad Goronyo, has urged the Management of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to give regular updates to the National Assembly (NASS) and other stakeholders, in order to bridge communication gaps even as he advocated for openness and engagement in the system.

The Minister gave this charge at a meeting with the management of FERMA and Members of its Board led by the Managing Director/CEO, Engr. (Dr.) Chukwuemeka Agbasi, recently in Abuja.

In a statement made available to EXTRAORDINAIRE.COM, the Director, Press and Public Relations, Mr. Mohammed Ahmed, in the Ministry, said the meeting, which was the continuation of a prior one held in Kano on Monday, is aimed at articulating a work plan with a clear road map for FERMA activities nationwide.

It was also to address the fallout of the invitation by the National Assembly, where the need to upscale communication between the two was emphasised; the need to always bring Board Members up to speed with the activities of the Agency; grey areas observed in the non-implementation of the 2024 budget, as well as drawing a template for all on-going FERMA projects with a view to embarking on a visit to all the geo-political zones to access projects being undertaken by the Agency.

He appreciated the Management of FERMA and the Board for the visit, promising that more of such engagements will be held to bring the benefits of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which seeks to enhance infrastructure and transportation as enablers of growth.
