 FERMA’s Funding Shortfall Hinders Road Maintenance, Minister Appeals for Budget Boost


The Minister of State for Works, Mohammad Bello Goronyo, has called for improved funding for the Federal Emergency Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to address Nigeria’s deteriorating road infrastructure. Despite being allocated ₦103.3 billion in 2024, only ₦41.282 billion was released, leaving many roads in a deplorable state. 


FERMA's proposed ₦64.88 billion budget for 2025 aims to prioritize trunk roads and align with President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda. Senate Committee Chairman Babangida Hussaini and FERMA’s Managing Director, Engr. Agbasi Chukwuemeka, highlighted chronic underfunding as a major obstacle to road maintenance and called for collaborative solutions.
