Following a collaborative work between WikkiTimes and Tracka over dilapidated Bauchi-Jos border road, Federal Road Maintenance Agency(FERMA) has started rehabilitating some failed portion of the highway.
Tracka, a project monitoring and public accountability organization, had tweeted that over N200 billion were wasted on rehabilitation of the road between 2020 and 2022.
“We’re aware that between 2020 and 2022 in the FG budget the following amounts were BUDGETED, N144m in 2020,N57m in 2021 and N76m in 2022 for the maintenance of Bauchi-Jos Plateau state boarder Rd in Bauchi-State now a death trap for road users,” Tracka had tweeted.
As a pro-accountability platform, WikkiTimes amplified the tweet.
A few days after the concerted efforts, federal government’s FERMA mobilised workers to the site to patch some sections.

“After our intervention on the deplorable state of Jos-Plateau Road in Bauchi State, we are happy to report that the failed portion has been fixed,” Tracka tweeted.
