Ibadan used to be one of the most peaceful states in the Southwest, with little or no traffic congestion and its lesser cost of living. Unfortunately, this is luxuries are fast disappearing.

The unusual traffic has been noticeable along Iwo Road, Iwo Road Junction and Bus Terminus in Ibadan that leads to other parts of Oyo and other states. It is a major terminal where travelers going to Osun/Ife, Lagos, Ogun, Kwara and other parts of the southwest board vehicles just as it also serves as a business district mixed with residential apartments.

A commuter, Lanre Sorinde, who spoke with The Guardian said Governor Seyi Makinde would need to take decisive steps if the traffic congestion at Iwo Road must stop. He also noted that the government would need to create designated bus stops for the ubiquitous Micra cars used for commercial commuting to enable them park and pick up passengers.

A civil servant Funmilayo said it is always hectic whenever anyone is caught up in the traffic at Challenge in the evening. According to her, “sometimes you spend close to 30 minutes or more.” The road is important as it connects to Agodi GRA and leads to the University of Ibadan, Ojoo and Sango, among others. Many people from Molete, Liberty road often head in that direction too.
