The residents, including leaders in the community, while speaking with our correspondent, said the construction of the road started during the administration of the former governor of the state, Ibikunle Amosun, adding that the road had been abandoned.
He said, “We want the government to help us fix Mowe/Ofada Road of which the construction has been on for about seven years now. The first part of the road which is a dual carriage was done by the former governor, Ibikunle Amosun, while the present governor, Dapo Abiodun, did palliatives on it before the election.
“The government did not even realise that our community really existed, thinking it was farmland. During the last election, the government got to know how populated this place was when they saw the voters’ registration,” he said. He said, “It is sad that because of the bad state of this road, several lives have been lost to accidents. Government should please give this a priority. Once it rains in Mowe and its environs, it is usually difficult for children to go to school because of the flood on the road.
