Residents of Agbado, Abule Ijoko, Itoki, Ope-Ilu and other adjoining communities in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State have lamented the untold hardship caused by dilapidated roads in the area.

The residents told PUNCH Metro during a visit to the communities on Tuesday that the situation has persisted for over 15 years with little or no attention from the government.

During the visit, our correspondent observed that the stretch of road connecting the communities from Agbado Oja to Abule Ijoko, spanning about 13 kilometres, has collapsed.

While some parts were barely motorable, others remained completely impassable and overgrown with weeds.
