The Senate has summoned the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, over the deteriorating condition of the Old Oyo-Ogbomoso road.
This followed a motion by Senator Buhari Abdulfatai (APC, Oyo North), who expressed concern about the worsening state of the road, which connects the South to the North.
According to Senator Abdulfatai, the road has caused severe hardship for travelers due to its deplorable condition.
Despite the Federal Government initiating repairs over 10 years ago, the road remains in disrepair, leading to frequent accidents and gridlock caused by articulated vehicles.
He emphasized that the situation has become unbearable for road users, with the road’s poor state negatively impacting both commuters and businesses.
After debating the issue, the Senate resolved to summon Minister Umahi to provide explanations and propose immediate actions to address the situation.
