A group under the aegis of Eastern Mandate forum (EMF) has commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing an Anambra indigene, Chukwuemeka Agbasi, as the 9th substantive Managing Director of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA).

At a press conference in Enugu, the National Coordinator of the group, Chinedu Nwaorisa, says this recent appointment of Agbasi is a demonstration of the President’s commitment to a united Nigeria.

According to him, this is a pointer to the fact that aside wanting improved standards on Nigerian roads; the President is also thinking that appointment of a South Easterner as the Head of FERMA will change the narratives of the road infrastructure in the region.

Dr. Agbasi is a Civil Engineer. Before his appointment, he was a Director and Head, PPP, Multilateral & Special Duties Department at FERMA.

The appointment, expectedly generated concerns, with many saying he lacked the requisite experience for the job.

Although no reason was given by the Presidency for the decision, Ngelale said all other appointments to the Board and Executive Management team of FERMA are not affected by this directive.

Dr. Bugaje said this kind of ugly situation is due to some undercurrent in the corridors of power.
