The house of representatives committee on Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FRRMA) says most roads across the country are in a bad state.
During an interactive session on Thursday, Remi Oseni, chairman of the committee, claimed that Umahi is getting his priorities wrong.The committee chairman disagreed with the minister, stating that funding is not the problem.“You are not here to tell us what we already know in the area of resources,” Oseni said.
“Don’t discuss resources. All the roads that we have across the country have failed. If you are addressing the existing roads with the resources that you have, Hon minister, we will not be where we are. Don’t discuss resources.“Last year, you got N300 billion supplementary budget approval. Don’t raise my emotions. I am worried that you are not concerned about fixing Nigerian roads.
