The Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency (OYSROMA) has commenced the rehabilitation of roads in the state to ease the movement of traffic.
The chairman of the agency, Mr Ogunlade Busoye Soladoye, said the roads to receive facelift include Molete-Fire-Challenge roads, Mokola-Dugbe and the Femi Johnson Junction along Oke-Ado Road, among others.
In a statement on Monday, it was stated that it is part of the Operation Zero Potholes initiative of Governor Seyi Makinde.
When completed, he said, the rehabilitation of the roads as well as the desilting of drainages across the Ibadan metropolis and its environs, would create a better environment for the populace.
While speaking after visiting some of the roads to be transformed by OYSROMA, Mr Soladoye said “This is one of our feedback mechanisms concerning the deplorable condition of roads during the rainy season.”
He also implored the residents to desist from the act of dumping refuse on waterways, as the agency has started clearing drainages across the state, promising that the agency will live up to its mandate.
