Senate summons Umahi over poor state of old Oyo-Ogbomoso road

The Senate has summoned the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, regarding the deteriorating condition of the Old Oyo-Ogbomosho road.

This decision, made on Wednesday, followed a motion of urgent public importance moved by Senator Buhari Abdulfatai (APC-Oyo North), who expressed concern over the worsening state of the road.

The lawmaker noted that the road, a vital link between the South and the North, has become a source of severe hardship for travellers.

Abdulfatai stated that the poor condition of the road has caused significant distress, with many travellers frequently stranded. Senate President Godswill Akpabio directed the Committee on Works to report to the plenary in three weeks.

He said, “For over 10 years, despite the Federal Government initiating major repairs on the road, it remains in a deplorable state, resulting in regular accidents and daily gridlock caused by articulated vehicles.”
