Heart Felt Note To Governor Amosun As Ogun State Marks Its 40th Anniversary

The Dwellers in Ogun State, my own State are excited with the recent utterances  of our amiable and progressive Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, one of which is marking the 40th anniversary  of the existence of Ogun State in February,2016, with 40 laudable projects that will spread and touch every part of the State.

We are glad. I said 'we' because I`m from Abeokuta the capital of the State. One major thing in most people's  lips is celebrating the occasion with good roads, especially  the uncompleted ones either by his government or those of his predecessor's.

In one of my trips to some parts of the state when I was in Nigeria in last August during my holidays  this year, I saw first hand the palpable conditions  of some major roads. Though, we commend his gallant strides  so far to make Ogun State a place to visit.

I watched her expressions and also beheld d transformation of a traditional Remo capital.
On the other hand,as l proceeded to Agowoye through Ilishan to Irolu and Ijebu Ijesa,.


The stretch of road was very bad from Ijebu Ijesa end to Ago Iwoye. No wonder my relation there does not take her car anytime she goes in or out of the town.
The terrain  was nothing to write home about.

Another major issue about the road and the other uncompleted roads is the health hazards arising from their state.
The volume of dust being raised as vehicles ply such roads is unquantifiable.
One would surely be decked  with dust from  head to toe;even your nostrils would have a lot of it.
The drivers  desire  to partake of the dividend of good governance as promised by the State government.
Another one of such road is Ijoko-Agbado road. So also we have  Papalanto towards Sagamu interchange
On these roads,wearing white is a taboo. I want to add that it is not only white. Anytime one passes through these roads,people will know one is coming from an outskirts  of the town.
One thing l want to add is the side way of the road to Agowoye that is caving in and nobody is saying anything. The rocky side is on daily basis falling out of shape.

The picture  below shows the level of it when one of my relatives  passed on the road early December. However, the caving in is moving fast as if it is under an explosive agent.
Something urgently has to be done before it is erupted upon moving vehicle. God forbid.
Lastly, the bad roads, especially those outside the towns are haven for evil deeds- From daylight robbery to different attacks.
Let our Governor act for posterity sake.. Let the celebration be for all and saundry.



2016 February, we await you with high hopes and eagerness.

God Bless My Governor, God Bless Ogun State and God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria!
