Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Residents of communities along the Apete -Akufo road have appealed to Oyo State governor Seyi Makinde to construct speed breakers and bumps om the road.<\/p>\n

The residents noted that this is necessary in order to avoid incessant road accidents on the road.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent reports that the road serves over 50 communities within Ido local government area.<\/p>\n

The 12.5 kilometers road \u2013 which is the first concrete road in the state \u2013 was executed by Governor Seyi Makinde.<\/p>\n

Many road accidents have occurred along the road since its construction.<\/p>\n

The residents of the communities appealed to Makinde to provide speed breakers and bumps to avoid future occurrences of accidents on the road.<\/p>\n

The residents in a statement signed by the Deputy Provost, Comfort Estate, Araromi, Professor Onyekachi Ireanus Okoro, said that many accidents have occurred on the road.<\/p>\n

Okoro, in the statement made available to DAILY POST on Thursday, said that reckless driving habits of commercial motorcyclists, tipper truck drivers and other vehicle operators pose a significant threat to the lives of residents and travellers in the affected communities.<\/p>\n

Okoro in the statement titled \u2018Urgent call for road safety measures\u2019, insisted that the current situation puts the lives of residents, commuters and pedestrians at risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, the community, are concerned about the increasing number of accidents on the Apete-Akufo Highway. The reckless driving habits of commercial motorcyclists, tipper truck drivers, and other vehicle operators pose a significant threat to the lives of residents and travelers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe kindly request the installation of speed breakers or bumps along this highway to reduce speeding and prevent accidents. This measure will help save lives and prevent unnecessary pain and suffering in our communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current situation puts the lives of residents, commuters, and pedestrians at risk. Speed control measures can significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents.We are concerned about the impact of accidents on families and the community as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the relevant authorities to take immediate action to address this issue. The installation of speed breakers or bumps will be a significant step towards ensuring the safety of all road users.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that with the implementation of these safety measures, we can reduce the risk of accidents and create a safer environment for everyone. We look forward to a positive response to our request\u201d.<\/p>\n
