Agbara-Atan road: Journeying with blood, sweat

Road users along Agbara-Atan axis of Ogun State and beyond have continued to experience most unimaginable frustrating gridlock on a daily basis, following the terrible condition of the road.

Investigations by Vanguard revealed that some private owned schools around this axis are losing their students to schools located outside the area, as parents groan on daily basis and are also afraid of exposing their children to undeserving danger or worse still, death, as a result of the dilapidated state of the road.

Speaking to Vanguard Correspondent, the Chairman, Idorawa Community, Igbesa, Mr. Olakanpo Opeyemi, described their experiences on the road as nightmarish. According to him, the road is a visa to hell as small vehicles contend with the many fully loaded container trailers that heavily ply the road daily.

Road users are left at the mercy of trailer drivers, who carelessly delve into the so many gully like pot holes, not minding if container loses grip and collapses on unlucky car or bus loaded with passengers, students, and so on.
