He gave the commendation on Tuesday 21st June 2011 while paying an appreciation visit to the Managing Director/CEO of the Agency, Engr. Kabiru Abdullahi in his office.
In his commendation speech, the monarch disclosed that prior to FERMA’s intervention on the road, commuters from his community could only access Lagos Metropolis, which is just 36 kilometres away, by skirting round Epe and Lekki to the south east of the community, thereby covering an extra 50 kilometres.
The monarch said his appreciation visit is not just to thank FERMA for the commendable work it has done in his domain, but also on behalf of all traditional rulers in Lagos State where the Agency has proved its mettle by massively repairing and maintaining Federal roads in both Federal metropolitan roads in Lagos and in the outlying districts.
According to him, FERMA has proved that when you have a focused and competent technocrat at the helm of affairs in a service delivery agency, members of the public are assured of accessing services wherever they may live.
Responding, the FERMA MD/CEO, Engr. Kabiru Abdullahi, said the Agency is encouraged when members of the public especially enlightened ones show appreciation for the Agency’s effort in delivering its mandate. He said that many prominent Nigerians including four royal fathers have visited the Agency this year to express their appreciation for the Agency’s road maintenance programmes.
He said that in addition to the Lagos – Ikorodu – Itoikin road, FERMA has also completed a number of metropolitan Federal roads in Lagos, including complete rehabilitation of Ijora Causeway, maintenance of Lagos section of old Abeokuta road, maintenance of Lagos bridges and approaches, Apapa – Oworonsoki road and installation and maintenance of street light on Third Mainland Bridge, among other maintenance projects.
