Iseyin – Oyo Highway is a major highway in Oyo state, it is
a trunk “A” road which enhanced economic activities of the area. The road
directly connect cities such as Iseyin, Shaki,Oyo, Ogomoso and far to the Northern
part of the country.
The road which was constructed in early 80s is now in dreadful
condition beseeching the attention of the government. Each successful government
has never deemed it fit to reconstruct this highway despite the aspiration and
pleading of the dwellers.
As a result of this road poor condition, many perishable
agricultural products have been rotted away thereby discouraging
farmers/producers in the area. The extra ordinary narrow bridge on Ogun River
has laid claimed to several lives of travelers, yet our leaders seemed to be
blind to this.
It is high time our leaders including royal fathers in the
Oke-Ogun region make their voice heard to whoever government parastatal
concerned. Nobody should be allowed to hold us into ransom again because of
their ulterior motive. The good standard living condition of the citizens
should be the paramount concerned of any good leader which is lacking in most
of our leaders.
A crucial look at the attached images of pitiable condition
of Iseyin – Oyo highway will tell you that, our leaders have been insensitive to
the hard plight of travelers on this road.
This is a clarion call to all illustrious sons and daughters
of Iseyin city to join our voice together so as to power our leaders into
action. We are not comfortable about the numbers of borehole drilling in the neighborhood
alone, we need you to intervene in enhancing and influencing the construction
of capital intensive projects as well.
It is even sad enough that none of our representative could
engineer the establishment of higher institution in Iseyin city, this is
disgusting and there should be a redressed. Kisi has a campus of Oyo state
school of Nursing, Okeho has a campus of Oyo state college of Health
Technology, Saki has The Oke-Ogun Polytechnic,Lanlate has a campus of Emmanuel
College of Education, Igbo-Ora has Oyo state college of Agriculture and
Technology, Eruwa has Ibarapa Polytechnic,Ogbomoso has LAUTECH, but ISEYIN has nothing !!! We are by no means
comfortable with this.
In a twinkling of an eye, another election will be here. Are
you working good enough to secure our votes???
