Transport workers and residents have lamented over the bad state of the Ayetoro Road, in the Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State.
In the same vein, another resident who was bewailed about the condition of the road said, “We are not satisfied with the condition of the road. The cost of the fare is much just because of this bad road. When it rains, we cannot pass again.”
A community leader, Lateef Oriola, popularly known as Baale, who expressed sadness over the condition of the road, said many petitions had been sent to the government but nothing had been done. He explained that palliatives to improve the condition on the road were done through donations from companies in the community and communal efforts.
Oriola said, “We have been writing to the state government for 10 years but they did nothing for us about it. We are the ones that have been grading the road every year in collaboration with the companies in the community. “They should please help us construct the road; our community is developing and government officials also ply this area from Abeokuta to collect their tax but they have never given priority to us.”All rights reserved.
