Ogbomoso Residents Appeal To Makinde Over Poor Roads,

By Christianah Oladosu,

Residents of Orisunmibare Pakiotan in Ogbomoso North local government area, Oyo State, have declared that the roads linking the community with other parts of the town are no more motorable.

The residents appealed to the State government under the leadership of Engineer Seyi Makinde, the local government Chairman and other concerned authorities to come to their aid.

The residents lamented that the roads had become an eyesore.

A community leader, Dr Tobi Fajobi called on the State and local governments to come to their rescue.

Fajobi, who spoke on behalf of other members of the community on Friday, regretted that all the roads within the community were no more motorable.

He said, “We call on both the state and Ogbomoso North local governments to come to our aid in fixing this road and bridge.

“It is a new community with a large population and houses. The road is highly dilapidated, hence hindering free flow of traffic.

“Ideally, we should spend just 2-4 minutes to the junction, but due to the poor state of the road, we spend more than 15 minutes.

“The alternative routes are not also reliable as they’re not in good conditions apart from being too long to ply. We, therefore, appeal to them to assist us by urgently intervening.

“Since the state government’s contractors are presently doing good jobs in Ogbomoso, rehabilitating and constructing new roads and bridges, our plight should be considered”.
