The Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) in Kebbi has completed two road projects out of three appropriated to the state in 2020, the agency’s Maintenance Engineer, Mr Rilwanu Usman, has said.
Usman told newsmen in an interview, in Birnin Kebbi, on Tuesday, that the projects were completed in view of their economic and agricultural importance to the people of the state.
“The works completed are: Malando-Ngaski–Warra Road, which is special repairs, involving patching of potholes, scraping of some sections, about 1.7 km in length and asphalting, among others. The contract has achieved 100 per cent completion stage.
“The other is Lailaba to Yeldu Road, a critical and shortest link between Argungu, Lailaba and Yeldu, a very important town in the state. The road serves a lot of commercial purposes, but due to paucity of funds in 2019, our scope was limited to the construction of culverts at very critical locations.
