Residents of Oke Ako Ekiti and Irele Ekiti in the Ikole Council Area of Ekiti State have called on the state Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, to rebuild Arinkin Bridge destroyed by flood on Thursday night.
The communities had woken up on Friday morning to find that they had been cut off from one another following the collapse of the bridge.
“Farmers, who have their farms there, can’t go to the farms again. What is the fate of those who had harvested yams and have no way to take the produce to the markets? It has affected farming. Those travelling to Irele and Kogi State through Oke Ako cannot go. In the same way, those going to Ado Ekiti from Irele and Kogi have been denied access.”
“The government should give us urgent attention. The road is the easiest access to anywhere. People from Kwara and Kogi coming to Ekiti and Lagos use the road. It will paralyse our economy and internally-generated revenue. There is no way now to take yams from our farms and Irele to Ipao and Odo Oro yam markets.”
