“Lives are being lost”, Rep Akande-Sadipe decries deplorable state of Olomi-Olojuoro Road

Rep. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe(APC-Oluyole) has decried the deplorable condition of Road in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.

Akande-Sadipe, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Affairs, made this assertions on Wednesday in Ibadan during an inspection tour of the road.

She said that the deplorable condition of the road had affected residents of the area and their businesses negatively.

According to her, the economic value of the area is gradually dwindling, adding that businesses were beginning to leave the area due to the poor condition of the road.

Akande-Sadipe, therefore, called on the Federal Government to alleviate the sufferings and nightmares of the residents on the road.

The lawmaker said that one year after she inspected the road with officials of the Federal Ministry of Works and Transport as well as the Public Complaints Commission, the situation was still worrisome.

She said that since 2018, the road was continuously listed in the budget every year, without any improvement.

According to her, lives are being lost on this road.

A journey of 10 to 15 minutes, now takes hours or more, which is not ideal for an economy that wants to grow.

“That road has been in this terrible state for many years.

“We appeal to the relevant agents of government to come to our aid on this road,” Akande-Sadipe pleaded.
