FERMA completes Ekiti-Kogi road repairs 23 Aug 2015 4:32 PM The Federal Roads Maintenance Agency has completed the repairs on the failed section on Ifaki-Ikole-Omuo-Kogi road, along the state border. The repairs, which stretched over 3km, followed a directive by the agency to all its field offices to embark on rescue mission on federal roads within their jurisdiction. The State Director, Emmanuel Onu, in a statement made available to our correspondent, said the intervention would be a continuous process on other routes in a bid to recover all federal roads. He added that the maintenance was done through direct labour and a few unskilled workers. “The agency has mobilised by removing unsuitable materials, clearing of site, provision of earth drain and turnouts, filling with boulders, Stonebase, Priming and Asphalt overlay on the failed sections of the road where vehicular movement had been impeded for a while now. “The Executive Management Team has come around to assess the extent and quality of work done and applauded the feat attained. “The team also inspected other critical roads in Ekiti State to assess the extent of damage and propose possible measures to mitigate the situation,” the statement said.
