Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) has assured the people of Kogi of zero potholes on federal roads in the state before the Christmas.
The Agency’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Segun Aluko, gave the assurance in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja on Friday.
He said that the agency had compiled reports on all dilapidated roads in the state.
He noted that the agency was making arrangements to begin patching and rehabilitating of all federal roads within the state.
He said the repair became imperative due to the heavy vehicular movements during the period of Christmas.
“We do not want anything that would make motorists miserable during the Christmas,” he said.
While stating that there would be zero potholes during the Christmas, he urged communities involved to cooperate with the agency during the cause of repair.
Aluko commended the Federal Government for ensuring that major highways are maintained and rehabilitated as and when due.
