PHOTOS: Shock As 7-Month-Old Road Collapses In Oyo
A heavy downpour on Tuesday, 10th of October has finally exposed the shoddy, substandard work done by the contractor that built the Ogbegun access road/bridge in Ogbomoso North local government, Oyo state as the portions adjoining the bridge have developed visible cracks with some parts already caving in.
The bridge and the road were completed not more than seven months ago but now the portions near the bridge have collapsed. It has become risky for vehicles and motorcycles to drive over it, a resident, Stephen Oyeleke, lamented.
He added that the job was substandard and have complained to the authorities of Ogbomoso North local government, which awarded the contract in conjunction with the state government but nothing was done.
Similarly, the Oke-Ogbegun Landlords Association paid for advertorials on radio stations to express gratitude to the Oyo state governor, Engr Seyi Makinde. It is shocking and lamentable that we are now returning to the period of road hardship.”
The residents all appealed to the government to quickly attend to the problem, and the contractor should be summoned to see the shoddy work he did.
