In the release, Hon Rahaman said that: “It’s sad that roads in Oyo have been particularly terrible, most especially the alignments from Irepo to Owode to Ogbomoso. May the Lord comfort the families of those who have just died.”
“As your representative in the State Assembly, I’ve met with Hon. Akeem Adeniyi Adeyemi, Member of the House of Representatives, and we’ve taken important steps even before the recent accidents. While our Member of the House of Representatives has been trying to secure essential permissions in Abuja, I’ve been in contact with the office of the Federal Controller of Works, Oyo State Field Headquarters, Federal Secretariat, Ikolaba, Ibadan considering the road alignments falls under their purview.”
Speaking on the latest development:, he said: ‘I can now confirm to you that RCC are on site around Ajayi Crowther University today.
