FERMA and BASIDMA Unite for State-Level Road Transformation in Bauchi

In a model example of federal-state collaboration, the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) played host to the Director General of Bauchi State Infrastructure Development and Maintenance Agency (BASIDMA), Engr. Abdulrahman Mai’auduga, at FERMA Headquarters Abuja.

The meeting focused on Bauchi’s “Zero Potholes” initiative and how FERMA’s national experience could support state-level implementation through technical support, training, and policy alignment. The visit also included discussions on joint project models and knowledge transfer.

Speaking during the engagement, Dr. Agbasi remarked that “FERMA is always willing to share what works. Infrastructure is not about competition it is about connection.”

The session concluded with a shared commitment to establishing frameworks for long-term cooperation. The agencies agreed to co-develop mechanisms that will enhance road maintenance and improve commuter safety across Bauchi and beyond.
