OPEN LETTER TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Concerned Parties

Dear President Tinubu,

We are compelled to bring to your attention the dire condition of roads in Ogbomoso, which has worsened significantly over the years. This issue disproportionately affects residents and commuters traveling between the Southwest and North.

The Ogbomoso-North road is plagued by potholes, rendering travel uncomfortable and hazardous. Frequent traffic jams, delays, and accidents occur, resulting in loss of lives. Recently, six lives were lost near the Nigeria Baptist Theological Seminary.

Despite concerted efforts by Engr. Seyi Makinde (Oyo State Governor), His Imperial Majesty Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye (SOUN of Ogbomoso), Senator Buhari AbdulFatai, Hon. Olamijuwonlo Alao Akala, and Hon. Ojo Makanjuola, the problem persists.

The poor road network forces traders, marketers, and commuters to spend over 20 hours on the road, while butchers transporting animals face similar challenges, with some losing their lives en route.

We implore your administration to prioritize road repair and reconstruction. Completing the expressway, initiated during Obasanjo's regime, will enhance safety, facilitate timely travel, and boost community morale.

We trust you will take immediate action.

Sincerely,

Patriot Austine Isaac
Meon Oyo State, Deputy State Commandant
