James Sowole
Vehicular movement was shut down for hours on the Akure-Ado Ekiti road as some residents of the two state capitals, yesterday, protested over the abandoned N22 billion Akure/Ado-Ekiti road dualisation as well as the lack of commitment on the part of the contractor to fix the road.
The residents under the aegis of Great Patriot for Better Initiative (GPBI) trooped out with placards alleging lackadaisical attitude of the contractor towards the project 15 months after mobilisation fee was allegedly paid by government for the road dualisation.
The protesters pointed out that the state of the road has continued to aid activities of criminals engaging in kidnappings and killings.
