The Minority Leader of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Waliu Salami, has raised an urgent matter of public importance, calling on Governor Seyi Makinde to intervene and assist residents of Kisi and Igboho communities in the Oke-Ogun axis.
While presenting a motion during plenary today, Salami said the collapse of two vital bridges along the Saki-Ogbooro-Igboho and Kisi-Igbope-Saki roads have brought untold hardship to the communities.
He explained that the bridges caved in following a heavy downpour on July 22, which triggered massive flooding and damaged sections of the ongoing Saki-Ogbooro-Igboho road project.
The incident, according to him, has halted vehicular movement and disrupted economic activities in the area. The House appealed to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Makinde to take immediate steps to restore access and prevent further economic hardship for the affected communities.
The Lawmakers also appealed to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport to conduct a spot assessment of the collapsed bridge that links Kisi-Igbope (Igboho)-Saki road to raise a Bill of Quantity (BOQ) for urgent reconstruction of the bridge to ease vehicular movement of agricultural produce and people in that axis.
