The Federal Government, through the Federal Road Maintenance Agency, has kick-started the maintenance and repair works on 32-kilometre roads in Bauchi state ahead of the rainy season.

The Federal Road Maintenance Engineer of FERMA, Bauchi Field Office, Nanpan Joroh, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen on Wednesday.

Joroh, who assured that the Federal Government was more concerned about the safety of lives of Nigerians plying the roads on a daily basis and more especially, during festive periods, said this, was the reason behind the maintenance of the major roads.

He explained that the projects were under the 2024 budget, adding that even though the contractors delayed reporting to the site, the works were almost completed.

The engineer added “Presently, we have three contractors working on our various sites in Bauchi State. The main one is the Bauchi-Jos road, and the contractor is almost at the 100 per cent completion stage of the project.

“The project is covering 20 kilometres towards the Plateau State border, and when you go there now, you will see that it’s potholes-free, and we did a lot of overlays along the road.

“Secondly, we have another ongoing project along the Bauchi-Gombe road, and that one covers about five kilometres along Alkaleri town where the contractor did some patchings and long stretches.
