Even after Mr Ladoja's administration, successive governments have done nothing to salvage the decay of the project.
A burnt brick factory built by the Oyo State Government to serve infrastructural needs has been abandoned and left in ruins for 14 years,The factory, situated in Oloba Village, Erunmu, Egbeda Local Government Area of the state, is one of the projects embarked upon by the Rashidi Ladoja-led administration in 2004. Mr Ladoja governed the state from 2003 to 2007- although he suffered impeachment in 2006 and was later reinstated same year.
But for the dwellers of Oloba village, the project meant more as their joy knew no bounds when the factory was constructed in 2004. They had high hopes that such infrastructural investment will be a major driver for social amenities and consequently, the development of Oloba village and other neighbouring communities.
Oloba village has never had electricity and residents had hoped the factory’s operation would speed up the provision of electricity to the community. He also blamed the then house of assembly for stalling work on the project, even after the reinstatement of Mr Ladoja.
