Commuters stranded as portion of major access road in Ekiti caves in (Video)
Commuters plying the Ado-Ilawe expressway in Ekiti state are stranded after a portion of the road caved in on Wednesday morning.
The road recently became an alternative route for commuters, including residents of the state, due to the deplorable state of the Akure-Ado expressway.
Asiwaju Oladimeji, a resident of the state, accused the federal government of abandoning federal roads in Ekiti.
Oladimeji said the federal government frustrated the funding secured by the state government from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to construct federal roads.
“The caving in of the Ado-Ilawe road happened this morning. This is the road people usually follow to avoid some of the bad portions of Akure-Ado road, now the road has become bad too,” he said.
“We have some major roads connecting to Ekiti. At the moment they are in a terrible state. The Ado-Akure road is a no-go area, the Ero/Aramokun/Igede roads are bad and many other federal roads in Ekiti are in deplorable condition.
“Right now all the federal roads that exit Ekiti to Akure, Ibadan, Lagos and other states are in total collapse. Unfortunately, these are federal roads.
“There is a problem with federal roads in Ekiti. We have been abandoned by the federal government.”
