Motorists, commuters and residents have appealed to Gov. Dapo Abiodun to urgently complete the second section of the Mowe-Ofada road to ease stress and improve road safety.

They said the uncompleted stretch had become a major concern, causing prolonged delays, frequent vehicle breakdown, and increased transportation costs for residents, workers and business owners.

Some of the motorists and residents who spoke with NAN in separate interviews on Saturday acknowledged the reconstruction of the first section but urged government to extend work to the remaining stretch.

A commercial driver, Mr Johnson Fadeyi, said the deteriorating condition of the road had reduced daily trips and increased vehicle maintenance expenses due to its rough surface.

“We face serious problems on this section of the road especially when it rains. I want to appeal to the state governor to urgently find a lasting solution to the road,” he said.
