The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has knocked the government of the federation over the poor state of roads in Ife, Osun State.
The monarch lamented on Sunday, October 31st, 2021 during the commissioning of a 700-metre road in Ile-Ife.
He said; “The government has refused to fix the roads, and also denied permission for the roads to be rehabilitated through community help.”
“All we hear is that it is a government road, so we have to keep waiting.”
“We are aware that the government cannot do it alone, so we want them to put up a scheme, like a form of concession on all major roads in Ife.”
“We would look for able personalities within the community and they will fix the road and they will give them tax credits. It is the same.”
“Let the government give us that opportunity and see whether we will perform. We can now replicate it in other communities across the country.”
“We are willing and able to do that on all major roads in Ife. All we need is a form of concession in that regard.”
