Residents Seek Adeleke’s Help As Gullies Take Over Iwo-Ibadan Road
RESIDENTS, commuters, and business owners in Iwo, Osun State, have lamented the poor state of a portion of the Iwo-Ibadan Road, which has metamorphosed into a gully.
The area where commuters and residents were lamenting is immediately after the NNPC filling station, Iwo, with potholes occupying a large part of the road.
According to the residents who spoke with OSUN DEFENDER, the portion of the road has become worse and needs urgent government attention.
Speaking with OSUN DEFENDER, a resident of Iwo, Ibrahim Olajuyi, appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke to urgently address the situation.
Olajuyi said the condition of the road was bad, noting that commuting on the road has become a nightmare.
He said, “The road which is just immediately after the NNPC Filling station, Iwo, is in a bad shape. This portion of the road is so dilapidated that urgent attention of the Osun State Government is required.
“I want to appeal to the Osun State Governor and the Ministry of Works to fix it before. This road is now a nightmare for people, especially the motorists.”
A commuter who gave his name as Yunus Abdulganiyu, while expressing frustration over the dilapidated condition of the road, said it has become a major challenge, especially during the rainy season.
He said, “This road is in bad shape and whenever it rains, it becomes terrible to navigate. The potholes along this road are too many, and a lot of vehicles have developed faults while passing this road.
“I can only appeal to the state government to consider us and help in fixing this. I know they are constructing some roads for us in Iwo, but they should also look at how they will assist us in fixing this, too,” Abdulganiyu appealed.
