Multi-Billion Naira Highway Collapses in Kwara

Date: 2012-12-11

The multi-billion naira Ilesh Baruba- Okuta- Kosubosu Federal Road in Kwara State constructed in trust by the immediate past administration of former Governor Bukola Saraki has deteriorated,even as refund on construction of the road put at N6.5 billion is now doubtful.

The State House of Assembly has, therefore, called on the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to urgently rehabilitate the road in the interest of the people in the area. In its resolution, the House said an early intervention by FERMA would help in the increase of commercial activities in the area located on the Nigeria - Benin Republic border.

According to the House, the rehabilitation of the road became imperative, in view of the many pot holes, while a culvert before Chikanda, an international border town had reportedly collapsed

It equally enjoined FERMA to control the erosion menace at Subayo village, to salvage the road from total collapse, even as it urged the governor to to include the construction of Ilesha-Gwanara-Kenu- Okuta road in next year's budget estimate.

Chairman of House Committee on Energy, Works and Transport Hon. Mashood Bakare, while presenting the report, observed that some sections on the road had become muddy, slippery and rocky, thereby making driving difficult.

Similarly, the Kwara State Governor Alh. Abdulfatah Ahmed, has been advised to promptly release approved fund for the reactivation of Shataa Dam, to restore water to Budo-Egba and Otte-Oja communities in Asa Local Government Areas of the state.
