The Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) has commenced massive repairs of Trunk ‘A’ roads across Imo State with the assurance that, in no distant time, the roads will be free from potholes and ditches.
The exercise, which was flagged-off on Friday, first started with patching of the Imo state axis of the Owerri-Aba Expressway .
Prior to the flag-off exercise, head of the FERMA management team and Executive Director West Operations, Engr. Peter O. Ibu was said to have inspected all dilapidated federal roads in the state that needed the attention of the Agency.

A motorist, Mr. Okechukwu Onukaogu, who spoke to our correspondent, commended the efforts of FERMA saying that the exercise should help reduce the number of road accidents.
