Residents, property owners and community leaders along Pakuro-Magbon River road in Obafemi-Owode Local Council of Ogun State
have cried out to the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, on the deplorable state of the road which transverses nine communities.
According to them, there are several revenue collecting points where tipper drivers pay money and are ticketed by the authorities, yet no single intervention has been made, except for residents’ contribution, which are used for palliative work on the road yearly. Chief Ismaili said the communities had called on the Chairman of Obafemi-Owode Local Council without any headway. He said: “Government is getting money from the area because there are people collecting revenue from the tipper people that are spoiling the road on behalf of government, yet we didn’t see the hand of the government
“We are using this medium, this occasion, to reach out to our Governor, House of Assembly men, and House of Representatives that they should come to our aid, so that they can fix our road because there are so many economic benefits in our domain,” he said. Also, vice chairman of Pakuro area CDC. Reverend Olatokunbo Odediya, said the rally was to draw the governor’s attention to the plight of citizens along the axis and the inherent huge economic potential of the road.
Also, Pakuro Area CDC women representative, Mrs Modupe Bamisaye, said women are mostly hit by the deplorable condition of the road. She lamented that during the rainy season, women in the community cannot access the road to go to the market or the place of work.
