Oyo-Iseyin Road, An Eye Sore | By Onike Rahaman

One major road in the country today that continues to beg for government attention is Oyo-Iseyin road in Oyo State. This road has been neglected by successive governments despite the persistent public outcry.

The road users keep on crying, lamenting and expressing discontent over the sordid state of the road over the years.

On daily basis,motorists and passengers are being traumatized and subjected to pains and agonies whenever they have reasons to ply this strategic road.

In the recent past, uncountable number of ‘save our soul messages’ had been written,published or posted on the social media by the concerned citizens;yet,it seems the government cares less.

A lot of productive labour hours are being wasted daily by civil and public servants who have to pass through the road particularly those persons that live in Oyo but work in Oke -Ogun. A journey that ordinarily shouldn’t take more than 40 minutes do often extend to more than two hours in some instances. It is not an exaggeration to describe the road as death trap.

Farmers that do transport their agricultural products through the road to the markets are parts of the victims of this long abandoned road.

I am still using this opportunity to appeal to the federal and state government to do something urgently towards the rehabilitation of the road.
