Months ago, I have been emphasizing the need for our political leaders representing us at federal level to appeal to the President and Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces, Senator Bola Tinubu to complete the abandoned 5km Express road within ogbomoso Community. May be that would have alleviated the agony that motorists and travellers are passing through on our major roads.
Without pontificating on the importance of the said section of the road which has been a serious concern today, even with abandonment of this new express road, the old and existing roads within the very short time may collapse due to lack of maintenance and repair by the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA). These places are Asani Bridge, Oolo Bridge and Ile Abu Bridge as flood almost damage these said bridges.
More importantly, the Takie-Bowen-Caretaker section of the old road has become a serious embarrassment for our economic prospect and growth, not only for Ogbomoso community but also for the country as a whole.
In this regards, we call on all the governments of three tiers, through our federal representatives and state political appointees to please play critical roles to make the roads wear a new look and facilitate a process that will awaken the re-award of the abandoned new express road.
For like three days now, there has been a stand-still traffic as trailers paralyzed the economic activities in Oyo-Ogbomoso axis and for the farmers in Ogbomoso zone, it has been a great inconvenience and loss for us transporting our agriculture produce to the markets.
