SAHARA REPORTERS
In a short documentary published via various social media platforms of the state government four weeks ago, residents were seen commending the governor for rehabilitating the road, known as Ojumele-Ajegunle Road in the community.
A road project in Makun Sagamu in the Sagamu local government area of Ogun State, which was opened two months ago by the Ogun State Government under the leadership of Mr Dapo Abiodun, has caved in after a downpour in the community.
In a short documentary published via various social media platforms of the state government four weeks ago, residents were seen commending the governor for rehabilitating the road, known as Ojumele-Ajegunle Road in the community.
The residents claimed that the rehabilitation has improved the movement of cars and people within the community.
“As part of our commitment to ensuring quality infrastructure for our community, we are pleased to announce the successful completion of the Ojumele-Ajegunle Road rehabilitation project in Makun Sagamu,” the state government noted in the documentary.
It continued: “The rehabilitation was undertaken with the aim of delivering well-maintained roads that will benefit our residents.”
But barely a month after the government’s post, SaharaReporters observed that many residents have started sharing photos showing that the newly opened road has been damaged, perhaps due to the use of substandard materials during its construction.
An X user, Rehanat said, “He (the governor) obviously didn’t do anything. Let him do a good road and stop using hoodlums as an excuse. Use good material unna say no.
“How do people even see truth and still decide to ignore…. Hoodlums destroy road or they didn’t use good material.”
“The road was poorly constructed oga,” another user, Zubairu Abdullahi said.
