Federal Ministry of Works Nigeria Achievement under Goodluck Jonathan. Projects Distribution The cumulative summary of on-going projects in the six (6) geo-political zones is given in the table below: S/No Zone No. of Projects Length (Km) Project Cost (NBn) 1 North Central 29 1,201.81 294 2 North East 26 1,219.65 314 3 North West 20 1,040.22 188 4 South East 45 1,251.40 357 5 South South 33 739.57 245 6 South West 31 1,072.63 365 Total 184 6,525.63 1,765 -Today, thanks to the remarkable transformation that has taken place in the road sector, Nigerian Roads can no longer be described as “death traps”; rather the Federal road network is once again serving as economic arteries through which commerce flows from one part of the country to another. -From about 4,500km of fair roads in 2011, today more than 25,000km of the 35,000km of federal roads are now in good and motorable condition, with some of the road alignments comparing favourably with roads in the developed parts of the World. -Travel times between origins and destinations, have been reduced, cost of vehicle maintenance have been drastically reduced, accidents and carnage on our roads have been reduced due to better pavement design and construction, modern road markings and signages. SURE-P Intervention -SURE-P has contributed to the remarkable progress witnessed in 2013 on the dualization of four (4) key arterial roads across the six geopolitical zones of our country. These are the dualization of Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja Highway, Kano-Maiduguri Highway, and the reconstruction of Onitsha-Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Benin-Ore-Shagamu Expressway and Lagos-Shagamu-Ibadan Expressway. Not only that, proceeds from SURE-P are also being applied in the construction of the new Loko-Oweto Bridge over River Benue linking Nasarawa and Benue States, and the Second Niger Bridge in Onitsha/Asaba linking Anambra and Delta States.

Abolition of the use of cut-back bitumen (MC-1) and its replacement with bitumen emulsion, thereby freeing kerosene for domestic usage and promoting environmentally friendly construction methodologies in road projects. 2. Introduction of a new project management template that makes provision for the valuation of only permanent works in Interim Statements/Certificates, thereby deepening performance management approach to road development, and mitigating frequent augmentation of projects. 3. Introduction of the of the “Safe Passage” policy that ensures that road corridors on subsisting contracts are maintained and made motorable by Contractors throughout the duration of the projects. 4. Aligned with the Federal Government’s Local Content Policy by encouraging Indigenous Contractors to handle federal road projects. 5. Establishment of an Engineering Design Office with modern facilities at the Headquarters of the Ministry under a supervision of a substantive Director. 6. We have continued to improve on the qualities of pavement and road construction materials under the watch of the new Materials, Geotechnics & Quality Control Department. 7. The establishment of the six Independent Ministerial Monitoring Teams have ensured standard and quality on the various road projects, and 8. We have completed the laboratory tests for the use of modern chemical additives for soil stabilization and directives have been given for the field trial of the products on selected road projects to be procured under the 2014 fiscal year. The products have the potential of reducing the cost of road construction by more than 30% in areas where good soil materials are not readily available. Public Private Partnership (PPP) Projects Under the PPP, the Ministry has two flagship projects: The Second Niger Bridge linking Onitsha and Asaba in Anambra/Delta States, being undertaken by the NSIA-Julius Berger Consortium and the Apakun/Oshodi-MMIA Expressway in Lagos State, being undertaken by CHEC Consortium.

Road Maintenance The Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) is directly responsible for the maintenance of the federal road network. In these past three years, a total of 22,500km of roads and 80 bridges of different lengths were maintained by FERMA. In addition, all the 7,179 Youths that were mobilized, trained and engaged by FERMA for road maintenance under the SURE-P, were retained in the year under review for aggressive maintenance of federal roads across the Country. Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation • Deployment of Zero Order Controls which enable us to tie our Survey Controls to other Nations through International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS). • Acquisition of Satellite Imagery and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the entire Country through partnership with Info-Terra Company; this has enabled us produce 1/25,000 maps faster and more accurately. • Reviewed the Survey Co-ordination Act of 1962 and its subsequent Amendments has been concluded for further consideration for enactment into law. • A Committee is currently working on the Determination of Transformation Parameters from Nigerian Minna Datum to the Global Datum using Local Experts. • Recovery of large volumes of Survey and Map Data from the Archives using recently acquired Archival Digital Data Retrieval Equipment. • Establishment of a Data Centre where all Surveying and Mapping Data/Information are stored and accessible to all stakeholders, and • Publication of the 2nd Edition of the National Atlas of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; the first was published about thirty (30) years ago.
