Introduction
We appreciate the main roads being tarred, but have you tried driving through the inner streets of Oyo lately? It is a nightmare.
Some areas are almost unpassable, especially when it rains. The potholes have turned into gullies, and the gullies are turning into rivers because there is no drainage.
The Real Cost
This isn't just an inconvenience; it costs us money.
- Vehicle Damage: Mechanics are making a fortune fixing shocks and bumpers every week.
- Business Loss: Customers avoid shops located on bad roads.
- Flooding Risk: Without proper drainage, the water has nowhere to go but into people's houses.
We are calling on the Local Government Chairmen. Please, grade the roads. Clear the gutters. We don't need a dual-carriage expressway on every street, but we need roads that are motorable.
