Ogun Monarch Appeals To Gov. Abiodun To Consider Rehabilitation of Ijoko-Lisa Road
…Says Bad Road Hindering Development
In a landmark demand, the Olu of Lisa Oba Najeemdeen Odugbemi (Odu1) has appealed to the Ogun state government to consider the rehabilitation of Ijoko to Lisa road which is approximately 10.5kilomiter to the Arcade ground of the 2005-2006 Bellview Plane Crash.
Oba Odugbemi in his continued agitation for a good road network to the town, reminded the state government of the monumental resource and life memory event that occurred in the city about 19 years ago, noting that rehabilitation of Ijoko-Lisa road is like waking the sleeping giant of Ogun State tourist centers.
He pointed out that since he assumed the traditional throne of Lisa, he has been doing majorly all projects by himself, without collecting a dime from the government, part of the projects executed by the monarch include, Schools, provision of security agents units for the safety of lives and property, healthcare center, and some other development aid for the community.
Odugbemi appealed to Gov. Abidoun to consider the 10.5kilometer roads as part of his next project in the state, maintaining that if the roads could be done, the rest would be easy to sort.
He explained that Lisa’s town became known on a global map due to the Belview incident, lamenting that alone makes the town worthy of development by the state governments, but the reverse is the case.
Odugbemi made these known during a courtesy visit of Ogun NUJ and NAWOJ executives to his palace in Lisa town, Ifo constituency two area Ogun state.
According to him, “Our major problem is the issue of bad road network from Ijoko to Lisa, I want the Governor and the President to come to our aid for this issue”.
“I don’t need any money from the government, we are not fully fed, but we are not hungry either, what we need from them is roads, even though, they should forget about the light for now, give us a road from Ijoko to Lisa we will appreciate that”.
“The road is so big to us, without a good road network, there will be no development since our Senator resumed to Abuja, he hasn’t been picking up calls anymore”
“I know our President and Governor are listening people, only what we can do to support them is to pray for them, as they are doing in the US, a citizen will say God bless America every morning”.
In the same development, Oba Odugbemi also commissioned an office unit for the Nigeria Legion in the town.
He admonished them to establish a synergy with other security agents in the town to ensure more safety of lives and property in Lisa and its environs.
