Residents of Idanre Local Government Area of Ondo State have appealed to the Minister of Works, David Umahi, to intervene in the Idanre–Owena federal road project, which they believe has been abandoned.
They said the Idanre–Owena road project was awarded in 2023, but no work has been carried out since then, leaving the road in a deplorable condition.
This was contained in a petition to the minister by Banji Olusesan on behalf of concerned residents of the local government area. The petition was made available to our correspondent on Monday.
According to the petition, the poor state of the road has been causing hardship, economic losses and safety risks to residents, hence the need for the Federal Government’s intervention.
The petition read in part, “We write as concerned citizens and residents of Idanre Local Government Area, Ondo State, to respectfully request the intervention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission regarding the Idanre–Owena Road Project.
