Residents of Elebu in the Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State have appealed to Governor Seyi Makinde to promptly reconstruct Elebu Road.

This appeal was made during a visit by journalists to the area on Wednesday. The residents remarked that Makinde had promised a few years ago to repair the road, and they are now urging him to fulfill that promise.

Mr. Dolapo Ajao, a resident, expressed that the deplorable state of the road is negatively impacting the social and economic lives of the community members. He further noted that the road has become a significant concern for residents, especially during the rainy season.

“As you can see, this is the road. The road is in a bad condition. We are facing a lot of challenges on this road especially during the raining season. The road is always impassable. Economic activities are being affected.

Another resident, Mrs Iyabode Aina said that some youths and some communities and individuals have made several efforts to ameliorate the suffering of the people.

She used the opportunity to appeal to the state government to ensure that the reconstruction begin in earnest.

“Few years ago, some youths in the communities came together to task other members of the communities and made efforts to reduce the suffering. Also some communities have also made efforts to reduce the hardship we are facing on this road. About two years ago they graded the road and fill the road to reduce the hardship. That was two years ago.

Mr Kolade Adeoye in his own contribution, appeal to the governor to fulfill his promise.

He said that the people of the communities are expecting the governor to fulfill his promise on time.

“We are appealing to the governor to fulfill his promise. He made a promise when he came to commission the health centre sometime ago. He promised that he will reconstruct the road. We are waiting for him to fulfill his promise before the next general elections. (Nigerian Tribune)
