A monarch in Ogun state, the Olu of Lisa, Oba Najeemdeen Odugbemi has requested the fixation of bad roads in the state, stressing that he doesn’t need government allowance.
Oba Odugbemi, while addressing executive officers of the Ogun state chapters of the Nigerian Union of Journalists and National Association of Women Journalists, during a courtesy visit lamented that there are a lot of bad roads that are yet to be fixed in the state by the state government and federal government.
According to PM News, the monarch, while citing one of the bad roads that’s affecting his people, mentioned the Lisa Road, which is approximately a 10.5 kilometre stretch to the Arcade ground of the 2005-2006 Belview plane crash.
In his words, the road is big for the community to handle alone, seeking the intervention of the state and federal government.
Also he claimed that ever since he assumed office, he has been sponsoring beneficial projects singlehandedly, without the help of the government.
He said, “Our major problem is the issue of bad road network from Ijoko to Lisa, I want the Governor and the President to come to our aid for this issue”.
“I don’t need any money from the government, we are not fully fed, but we are not hungry either, what we need from them is roads, even though, they should forget about the light for now, give us a road from Ijoko to Lisa we will appreciate that”.
“The road is so big to us, without a good road network, there will be no development since our Senator resumed to Abuja, he hasn’t been picking up calls anymore”.
He therefore urged President Bola Tinubu and Governor Dapo Abiodun to intervene and provide better roads for the benefit and development of communities in the state.
