[size=14pt]Rep seeks N800bn lifeline for federal roads[/size] on SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 · in NEWS By LEKE ADESERI, South-West Regional Editor LAGOS—Federal House of Representatives has started addressing the terrible state of federal roads nationwide. Towards this end, Speaker of the House, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, has referred a motion on the important issue to the House Committee on Works for proper harmonisation and report back to it. Kick-starting the debate on the need for the House to address the sufferings of Nigerians who use the roads, Hon. Sunday Steve Karimi, representing Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State, made a case for a Special Intervention Fund in a motion of urgent national importance moved on the floor of the chamber last Wednesday. He said there must be an urgent move for the creation of an N800 billion Special Intervention Fund to be injected into the reconstruction, expansion and maintenance of the roads, as a way out of the terrible road situation in the country. He said: “The special fund will be managed by a Special Task Force to be instituted by the President of the Federal Republic.” The lawmaker lamented the inability of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency,FERMA, to adequately address the challenges posed by the enormity of work the agency is saddled with all over the country. He said the condition of the roads have gone beyond the palliative measures being embarked upon by FERMA as the roads need total re-construction with full expansion. “The House notes with concern, the continuous and the embarrassing rate at which the network of roads linking all parts of the country have turned today. This trend has assumed a dimension, which to my mind, this chamber can no longer continue to ignore and I believe we must rise up to this challenge as representatives of our people. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/09/rep-seeks-n800bn-lifeline-for-federal-roads/ |

you guys are simply impossible. So how will the roads be fixed if money is not budgeted? There are too many clowns on NairaLand, trust me. |
Re: Rep Seeks N800BN For Repairs Of Federal Roads by ochiaha1(m): 4:19pm On Sep 27, 2011 |
I have often said we need a Roads Fund which can be funded from each litre of Petrol purchased by a vehicle. This is necessary as a once-in-time interventention, like the present call for a N800 Billion road fund might solve the problems of bad roads temporarily,but later again those same roads will go into a state of disrepair. |

werepeLeri: Congrats on your new appointment. So far, you have not been doing a good job. You can ask for help from Beaf or Faeb. What happened to N350billion budgeted in OBJ's 8 years again? I seem to have forgotten. |

Parisgoodman: How can an organized protest work on unintelligent people like our corrupt leaders - they will simply send out their dogs or start another religious crisis to distract attention like they always do besides have you not noticed that when you get good numbers to start a protest - majority of Nigerians never support you except to watch how the MOPOLS whip your yansh on TV |

The road business needs to be give to governors. They aren't as corrupt as the FG. Fashola, Rochas, Chime, Ameachi, etc would put the money to use more than the FG. |
