Commuters plying through Ikire town and Odeyinka town in Osun State are experiencing difficulties as a result of the deplorable condition of the road in the area.
The two towns are in Irewole local government area of the state.
However, the road linking the two towns is in a bad shape.
This is despite the allocation of the sum of fifty million naira (N50m) for the rehabilitation of the road.
It was learnt that the federal government had earlier allocated the fund for the rehabilitation of the road in the 2024 budget but the work has not been done.
Tracka, a non-governmental organisation monitoring the execution of capital projects in the country, in its latest release, explained that the fund had been allocated for the rehabilitation in the 2024 budget but evidence had shown that the work had not been executed.
In the statement obtained by DAILY POST on Wednesday, it said that road users were still experiencing difficulties on the road.
“N50m was allocated to the Rehabilitation of Ikire, Odeyinka Rural Road, Irewole LGA, Osun state in the 2024 FG Budget.
“We tracked and report that this project has not been done. Residents told us how difficult it is to ply this road especially when it rains. This provision is of high priority to them,” Tracka wrote.
