“Your Excellency, permit us to humbly express our displeasure of seemingly marginalized. The recent announcement of the commissioning of the Sagamu-Iperu-Ode Remo road was a joyous news and we are excited about it but our concern stems from the fact that the construction of the road has not been completed up to the Ode Remo axis.”

“We recalled that ever since the road construction commenced, there was no trace that the road will get to Sapaade via Iperu/Ode Remo. A lots of cries and plea but no feedback from the government.”

“With utmost regard for our esteemed Governor’s office, as the voice of the people of Remo, we humbly wish to request for the following:

1. The reasons for the incomplete construction of the road, despite the announcement of its commissioning.

2. The timeline for the completion of the road construction up to the Ode Remo/Sapaade axis.

3. The measures to be taken to address the marginalization of our community in the allocation of developmental projects.

“We believe that every community deserves equal attention and development, and we hope that your administration will take our concerns seriously and take prompt action to address them.”

When our reporter reached out to the outgone Chairman of Remo Youth Association who is a reputable stakeholder in Ode Remo; Com. Yaya Onagbesan. He bitterly commented that; “It was a privilege and joyous thing to have a governor from our axis ‘Remo’ but devastating and bittered that the said road Sagamu-Iperu-Ode Remo is in a state of comatose and urgently calling for attention.”

The Youths are agitating for a quick extension of the road repair/construction due to the fact that the lots of accidents and robbery is occuring on the road because of its dilapidated state.

“The road was contracted and meant to be commissioned in Dec 2022.It was a six months contract July to Dec from Area Command to Saapade.”

“The contract billboard was removed when we were calling the attention of the Gov to it during electioneering period that the project had over stayed.”

“The project was never in phases ,the information about phases is strange, fabricated and unacceptable.”

“If the project was in phases ,why the deceit that it stopped at Ode Junction?Which of the Junction?What happened to the rest part of the road that is due for Commissioning?”

“It is a big blow on Remo North and no preliminary work is ongoing as we speak, you can drive down to confirm.”

“The people of Remo insist ,the Road stops at the frontage of the Governor’ house.”

“Why preliminary work for a job that started In July 2022?

“We should stop assisting the government for being deceitful .It is tax payers money and not a gift that deserves a thank you!”

“If the project is in phases,then it shouldn’t be commissioned until it completed.”
