Japan Hands over Road Stabilisers to Enhance Nigeria's Road Infrastructure

On 1 August 2025, Ambassador SUZUKI Hideo, attended the Commissioning and Handover Ceremony of Road Maintenance Construction Equipment in Kuje, Abuja. This initiative is funded by the Government of Japan’s grant aid of approximately USD 2.78 million.

The ceremony was also joined by H.E. Bello Mohammad Goronyo ESQ., Honourable Minister of State, Ministry of Works and Engr. Chukwuemeka C. Agabasi, Managing Director/CEO of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).


The road stabilisers handed over to FERMA were manufactured by SAKAI and HANTA, two of Japan's leading companies in road maintenance. These stabilisers can reduce road repair times by 60% compared to traditional methods, while also reducing costs by 50-60%. This contribution is expected to significantly enhance road infrastructure across Nigeria.
