The Senate has passed a bill scrapping the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) and replacing it with Federal Roads Authority.
The bill, sponsored by Kabiru Gaya (Kano-APC), was read the third time at plenary before it was passed through a unanimous vote by the senators on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Senate rejected the report on National Road Funds, stepping it down for further legislative action.
Explaining further, Gaya said the idea of road funds was not new, citing examples from countries like Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Malawi, Togo and United States where funds were generated from fuel levy.
