Residents of Ilogbo in Ado-Odo Local Council of Ogun State have appealed to the state governor Dapo Abiodun to come to their aid, saying the only access road that connects them to Iju and Iyana Ilogbo is becoming increasingly unbearable to travel on. They are also calling on the governor to carry out a total rehabilitation of the road to help boost growth and development in the area.
“This is our predicament in this area and because of the condition we found ourselves in, we don’t have banks, no police station, no hospitals and Ota local government is far from us, they don’t care.” Lateef bemoaned the fact that Ogun State government is collecting road worthiness from car owners when roads are bad. “If you buy a new car here, you can hardly enjoy it for six months. Government knows how impassable the road is, but when it is time for election, you see them here with their banners, making promises they will never fulfill.”
Chairman of the Okada Riders Association at Atimo bus stop near the collapsed bridge, Sirk Kamoru pleaded with government to widen the Ilogbo road and make it double lane. While approaching Lagere, close to the Seventhday Adventist hospital, the portion of the road is also bad and gives motorists headache. Bemoaning the situation of the roads in Ife, the Anglican Bishop of Ife, Rt. Rev. Olubunmi Akinlade lamented the deplorable condition. He noted that many of the seemingly good roads were constructed during the government of governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, adding that the governments that took over from him scarcely did anything to improve their condition.
He noted that some residents, whose houses were demolished when the government started the construction of the road, were even using their buildings to get their daily bread. He said those affected they had since been denied of their income, yet the federal government has abandoned the project. He called on the federal government to address whatever problems that led to the stoppage of the construction.
Ogun state entirely is a massive mess, they don’t have a government at all. All of them are smugglers. Bad road errwhere.
