Our Efforts on Ogbomoso Trunk A Road About to Yield Result – Soun

The Soun of Ogbomosoland Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege lll has stated that the nightmare faced by residents in the town arising from the severely damaged portions of Ogbomoso – Oyo road within the metropolis, will soon be a thing of the past.

The Oba gave this assurance in a press release he personally signed, titled, “Our efforts on Ogbomoso trunk A road about to yield result,” and made available to newsmen on Friday.

Oba Ghandi charged indigenes and partners to continue to contribute in diverse ways to efforts at rebuilding the city in the image desired, informing private intervention on the road initiated by him and other partners will commence immediately.

He noted that the initiative will offer meaningful solution pending the time government which he acknowledges faces a lot of challenges will fix the road.

The road, which belongs to the federal government and linking the southwest to the northern part of the country, has become badly riddled with craters within a 500 meter axis in Ogbomoso metropolis especially, causing excruciating traffic gridlock stretching over 70kms on either direction as a result of large volume of heavy duty vehicles plying the road at every minute.

Residents and other travelers have made several appeals to the federal and state governments to repair the road without result, a development provoking forlorn hope among the people.

Acknowledging the hardship imposed by the road he assured of government’s intervention and disclosed he had made arrangements to get the road fixed.

Revealing his plans, the sound of Ogbomoso disclosed that ln the interim, while waiting for government’s intervention, we made some contingency plans to alleviate the problem and bring relief. I am committed to restoration of free flow of traffic in Ogbomoso and environs.

He therefore solicited the support of his subjects in developing the community noting that only in cooperation and collectivism can they achieve the city of their dream. This is as he urged cooperation with the contractor that is being brought to fix the road in the interim.
