The Concerned Nigerian Youths for Good Governance (CNYGG) has expressed strong support for the leadership of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) under Engr. Dr. Emeka Agbasi, citing notable achievements in road infrastructure development, youth engagement, and institutional reforms.
In a statement released by the group, CNYGG said its position followed a broad assessment of the agency’s activities, particularly ongoing road maintenance and rehabilitation projects across the country. The group noted that the current management has improved operational efficiency while creating employment opportunities for young Nigerians.
According to the group, thousands of youths have been directly and indirectly engaged through various FERMA projects nationwide. These opportunities cut across engineering, technical services, equipment operations, and support roles, while additional benefits have emerged through supply chains, logistics, and local contracting.
CNYGG stated that the impact of these initiatives goes beyond job creation, noting that many beneficiaries have acquired valuable skills, earned sustainable incomes, and improved their living conditions. The group described the integration of youth empowerment into the agency’s operations as a strategic move aligned with national development goals.
The group also commended the management for prioritising staff welfare, highlighting ongoing efforts to introduce a Job Peculiar Allowance aimed at improving remuneration. It further acknowledged engagements with institutions such as the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission and the Budget Office of the Federation as evidence of proactive leadership.
CNYGG described Engr. Dr. Emeka Agbasi as a leader who has demonstrated capacity and commitment, noting that his administration has combined infrastructure delivery with social impact.
The group added that these efforts reflect the broader objectives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly in the areas of economic inclusion and sustainable development.
While expressing satisfaction with the agency’s progress, the group urged the management to sustain its current momentum and expand youth-focused programmes. It also called on stakeholders to support ongoing reforms to ensure continuity and long-term impact.
CNYGG reaffirmed its commitment to promoting good governance, youth empowerment, and policies that support national development.
