Auto crashes: Ladigbolu tasks FG on Ibadan-Oyo-Ogbomoso-Ilorin expressway

The accident involved a 16-seater Mazda passenger bus going from Oyo to Abuja, shortly after it left the Owode motor park in Oyo. It was reportedly, crushed by an articulated truck, which suddenly swerved while the bus driver was attempting to overtake.

Ladigbolu stressed that the road generally, particularly the Oyo-Ogbomoso expressway, is too strategic to social and economic development to be left in a state such that it would endanger the lives of the people it is meant to serve. “As I said while welcoming former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the governor of Oyo State to Oyo for the commissioning of the Oyo-Iseyin road, only about four weeks ago, I laid emphasis on the importance of road.

“So, whatever the ministry can do, whatever the contractor can do to prevent future occurrences of the October 14 event, we pray that you should do it and do it with speed. Because one human life is a gift of God that no other human can duplicate or replicate. “And essentially, we have stated the reason why such was necessary. If people come to that market from all over the country, there should be a way for them to access that market safely.

An engineer with the Federal Ministry of Works and the project supervisor, Mr. Chuks Akwali, who responded on behalf of the ministry and the contractor, assured the delegation that actions were already being taken
