Residents and motorists in Imere, Ago-Iwoye in the Ijebu-North area of Ogun state have expressed their dissatisfaction over the deplorable condition of Imere/Post office/Ibipe road noting that the road was fast becoming dangerous for the residents and other road users daily, Somolu News reports.
Speaking to our correspondent, one of the residents who craved anonymity said the Imere/Post Office/Ibipe road remains one major road that not only links other towns and cities but serves as an economic viability road network of the community.
“This is a major link road that must not be overlooked because this is the same road that links towns and cities and don’t forget its economic impact on the community”.
“We’re making a passionate appeal to the right authority to please do the needful and rehabilitate the road in no time to avert road mishaps and other hazards that might cause misfortune for the residents and motorists”.
In the same vein, Mr. Ajiboye Lukman, a motorist who plies the road on a regular period described the deplorable condition of the road as disheartening which he said has been causing untold hardship on the people, especially the motorists whose vehicles often get broken down as a result of potholes on the road.
“Imere/Post office/Ibipe road is a major road and the route that I ply daily going from Sagamu to Ijebu-Igbo and it’s not possible for us to go through Ijebu-Ode which is quite odd. This is the easiest way to and from and when you look at the negative effect of the potholes on the vehicle, it’s mind-bugging”.
“We cannot but seek government rapid intervention in getting the road fixed as soon as possible to make the road motorable and secure for residents and other road users.
The 17.5 Klm Imere/Post Office/Ibipe Road is the same road that stretches from Ijesha Road to Oru and Ijebu-Igbo and also connects other towns, cities, and villages that surround the Ago-Iwoye community.
Meanwhile, the Ogun state House of Assembly member representing Ifelodun Constituency, Hon. Segun Odunnuga Kaka during his speech at the Oru-Ijebu Ojude Oba festival has reiterated his commitment towards rehabilitating, and dualization of the rural roads and creating new ones for easy entry and exit of goods and services.
He further sought his constituency’s support to enable him to achieve the target goals. At the same time, he also poured encomium on his boss, Governor Dapo Abiodun, and the Secretary to the State Government (SSG); Hon. Joseph Olatokunbo Talabi for their exemplary leadership style with commendable results while he begged Nigerians to exercise patience with the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to right the wrong as promised in his hope agenda.
He went further, “Before now, I promised to do all I could within my capacity to ensure that the rural areas have good and accessible road network, and because of that, I have acquired some of the latest road construction equipment worth N40m. And very soon, we’ll set the ball rolling as I’m ready to fulfill my pledge by rehabilitating, and dualizing the roads in the rural areas while new ones will also be created where and when necessary”. He claimed.
