“Data Collection Survey on Transport and Logistics Sector in Nigeria” is the project on which the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have agreed to collaborate.
The Federal Roads Maintenance Agency Headquarters in Abuja was visited yesterday by a delegation from JICA, headed by Mr. Yamauchi, during which this was disclosed.
With a focus on ports, land transportation, and water transportation, the JICA survey project seeks to gather data and offer recommendations for strengthening policies, enhancing transportation infrastructure, and raising service standards for operators.
As a significant player in the road transport industry, FERMA is required by the delegation leader to supply data for the JICA survey, including the road network map, the road length summary table, and maps illustrating the state of the roads and their corresponding summary tables.
