According to the communique, the condition of the roads have always been a source of concern to the indigenes of the is area as well as eyesores to visitors to the Ogun West zone.
“The state of these roads are not only an eye sore, it is killing and has almost strangulate the economic and social lives of the people of the areas. Agricultural and industrial activities in the areas have remained all-time low on account of this infrastructural deficiency,” the communique reads in part.
