THE Community leaders and residents in Olomi Olojuoro Road have commended the lawmaker representing Oluyole Federal constituency, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, over her tireless efforts to find a lasting solution to the bad road.

The stakeholders voiced their concerns passionately on Friday, during a site visit of the House of Representatives adhoc committee in Ibadan. 

They underscored the urgent need for a capable and dependable company to take charge of the road construction. 

They stressed the critical importance of community safety and prosperity, citing numerous accidents and loss of lives due to the deteriorating condition of the road.

Kabiyesi Oyewale Samuel, a traditional leader in the area, echoing the sentiments of the community, declared: “We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to our honorable representative Akande-Sadipe for her unwavering intervention. We believe the federal government will take the necessary actions to ensure the road’s completion within a reasonable timeframe, tax payers money cannot be squandered. If other representatives emulate Sadipe’s dedication, we can all reap the dividends of democracy and see our tax work for us.”

Startling revelations emerged during a site visit on Thursday, September 20, 2023, as the House of Representatives adhoc committee uncovered disturbing details surrounding the extensive delays in the Olomi Olojuoro road construction project. 

Led by Committee Chairman, Kwamoti Bitrus Laori, the committee expressed profound dissatisfaction with their findings, sparking urgent calls for the termination of DC Contractors’ involvement in the beleaguered project.

This pivotal investigative visit, an integral component of the committee’s ongoing inquiry, witnessed the convergence of community leaders, landlords and concerned residents. 

They seized the opportunity to commend the House for their unwavering commitment to unearthing the truth. 

Their appreciation extended to their federal representative, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, who has consistently advocated for her constituents’ welfare throughout this ordeal.Originally slated for a 24-month completion timeline when awarded in 2018, the Olomi Olojuoro road project has raised serious concerns due to DC Contractors’ sluggish progress and poor quality of work over a span of five years.
