Reps Push for Full Enforcement of 5% Petroleum User Charge to Fund Road Maintenance

The House of Representatives has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the full implementation of the 5% user charge on petroleum products as mandated under the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) Act, 2007.

In a statement issued by FERMA’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Maryam Sanusi, the House said enforcing the provision remains a priority for the 10th National Assembly to address the country’s urgent road infrastructure challenges.

The pledge was made during a technical meeting convened by the Ad-hoc Committee investigating the collection and remittance of the user charge, which brought together FERMA’s management and key stakeholders from the petroleum and road transport sectors.

Chairman of the committee, Hon. Francis Waive, clarified that the move was not intended to raise the pump price of petroleum products, but to ensure steady and sustainable funding for road maintenance across Nigeria.

“This charge is for the benefit of all Nigerians, including players in the petroleum industry. We must implement the law to deliver long-overdue improvements in road quality and safety,” Waive said.

Under the FERMA Act, the 5% user charge is to be sourced from the pump price of petroleum products and allocated to road rehabilitation and maintenance projects nationwide.

The House’s renewed focus on enforcing this provision signals a legislative push for infrastructure reform, amid growing public demand for safer and more reliable roads.
