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.
