Oyo state government has directed residents of the state to be cautious of their activities and waste disposal habits during the rainy season, calling on all those who trade under high-voltage power cables and on the streets to vacate such places to avoid disasters.
In a similar development, the State Government has commenced the rehabilitation of additional seven roads across that state.
The government said on Monday that it has commenced the rehabilitation of Iyanganku/NTC road, Eleta/Odinjo/Muslim road, Beere/Oranyan/Orita Aperin road and Ogbomoso High School/Baptist High road, Ariyo Box culvert at Olorunsogo/Akanran road, Iyana Church/Oyeniyan along Iwo road/Olodo road and Ologuneru/Abanla/Alafara .
The State Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Toye Arulogun restated the government’s commitment to infrastructural development in the state, assuring that other bad roads across the state will be attended to in batches.
He called on the citizens plying the rehabilitated roads to exercise patience, as the flow of traffic would be affected during the ongoing repairs and appealed to them to protect government properties from being vandalized, saying that resources spent on repairing vandalized properties could be channeled to other areas of need.
He called on the citizen to be wary of staying under the electric wire/pole especially during the rainy, adding that the government owes the citizens to sensitize and educate them against natural disasters.
