In a release issued by the Zonal Chairman of the PDP, Hon. Kayode Babade, the party, which congratulated the new FERMA chairman described his appointment by President Goodluck Jonathan and confirmation by the Senate as a further confirmation that the PDP led Federal Government was desirous of transforming the nation by bringing on board competent men and women to man all the strategic positions.

The PDP described Engr. Adeniyi as a professional engineer and technocrat of immeasurable experience and exposure needed to put FERMA in the breath of the transformation agenda of Mr President.

''We have assurance that Engr Adeniyi will make a better and greater impact at FERMA which will invariably affect Nigerians who commute daily on some of these deadly Federal roads.”

"We therefore congratulate the new FERMA boss and implore him to use his wealth of experience to bring succour to users of federal roads in the country," Babade said.
