Residents of Agbado-Oja in Ogun State yesterday staged a peaceful protest over the state of the Agbado Oja – Ijoko road.
The residents alleged that the untarred and dilapidated road which is regularly plied by articulated vehicles belonging to the construction giant, the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Ltd in the ongoing railway project had gone worse. The residents who brandished placards with different inscriptions blocked the road along the Ope-ilu area of the community, disallowing movement of vehicles, including the heavy trucks belonging to the CCECC from using the route.In a Save-Our-Soul plea by members and leaders of the communities, they lamented the suffering which the residents pass through on the Agbado-Ijoko road which had not been motorable for many years.
One of the leaders, Baale Oluwo Odunaiye Ikija, noted that the state of the road had become a cause of worry for residents, adding that they are always compelled to resort to self-help to do some works and make it motorable . He called on the government to come to the aid of the community, even as the railway project was ongoing.
