Chai! Na wetin dey happen for Ogun state road wey no wan gree finish? The Egba Economic Summit Group no go keep quiet as dem don call Federal Government to make una hurry up with the Idi-Aba–Abeokuta–Obafemi–Ajebo link road construction.
This road na the koko o, e dey connect directly to Lagos-Ibadan Expressway wey fit better Ogun economy and make movement dey easy for everybody wey dey travel. Dem don send letter go Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, and the President of the group, Gbenga Adeoye, no dey carry last for matter as he talk say the road work dey too slow.
Dem don talk say if dem no work fast to complete am, e go affect many levels – from business to everyday waka for Ogun State. As e be now, some parts wey dey pass Federal Medical Centre and OGTV corridor dey okay, but na once you pass the city, wahala dey start, and dem contractors no fit drop standard like dem dey do!
Gbenga Adeoye talk say dem sabi how contractors dey behave after dem don waka leave city, na so dem dey chop standard, make road no fit last well. E don reach time make Government check am before e turn another wahala wey go spoil the whole plans wey dem get for Ogun.
Despite say di work don dey go for backend with some ongoing infrastructure projects, Adeoye still dey vex say how long we go wait for the road wey don dey on ground since Muhammed Buhari time. Dem also dey eye the new Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences for Abeokuta wey dey beg for quick finish for di road, so dem fit relocate dem students come their permanent place. E go tough if di road no gree finish!
This road no be just ordinary link, e fit change the game for Obafemi-Ajebo area. E go make more sense for businesses, and dem fit turn dat place to industrial hub wey go boom. Plus, dem go see sey traffic go reduce wella for di Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when dem don complete di road.
But as e be na, excavations don turn di road into a serious challenge, make drivers dey suffer. Di president of di summit talk say before all dis wahala, di road dey very smooth and e dey serve as good shortcut to Ibadan. Na so di road dey turn obodo oshi o! Make dem faster this work because e fit touch the economy for Egbaland, Ogun State and even Nigeria too!
Gbenga Adeoye talk sey dem don copy di letter to all di big chiefs for Egbaland, wey dey work hand in hand with di summit group to ensure sey give dem road di attention am deserve. We dey hope sey di Ministry of Works go come through with di funds make dem complete di work ASAP!
