Repair bad road, Ogun Assembly begs Gov. Abiodun
The Ogun State Assembly passed a resolution on Tuesday urging Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration to swiftly initiate construction work on the Kemta-Olokuta-Idi-Aba road, specifically through the Abeokuta train station.
Lawmakers noted that the poor state of the road has severely impeded both human and vehicular movement in the area, with commuters reliant on the railway particularly affected.
Adegoke Adeyanju, APC-Yewa North II, introduced the motion for debate, seconded by Olakunle Sobukanla, APC-Ikenne, during the plenary session.
Adeyanju stressed the deteriorating condition of the road, which serves as a vital link between the Prof. Wole Soyinka Train Station and approximately 52 communities within the Abeokuta South Local Government Area.
The lawmaker said the road had deteriorated, thereby affecting local connectivity and commercial activities in the area.
Adeyanju said residents and commuters had expressed considerable concerns about the deplorable condition of the road.
He said flooding had worsened the condition of the road, making it largely impassable for vehicles.
According to him, only commercial motorcyclists managed to navigate the stretch of the road.
Other lawmakers who contributed sought the state government’s attention in addressing the road situation.
Some believed that such intervention would revitalise economic activities, enhance safety and improve the overall quality of lives of the residents.
On his part, the speaker, Oludaisi Elemide, APC-Odeda, said it had become imperative for the state government to do something about the plight of road users across the state, especially as the rainy season approached.
He said the road, when fixed, would ease human and vehicular movement.
