Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has directed the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to rehabilitate and widen the Ibodi-Ilesa road to forestall incessant accidents that have claimed lives in recent times.
A statement by his Spokesman, Mallam Olawale Rasheed in Osogbo said the governor approved the expansion of the road while receiving the report from a committee set up after the unfortunate accident that claimed the life of a female staff of the University of Ilesa, Osun state
The governor also directed the Commissioner for Transportation to consider the creation of a trailer park in the area to stop multiple parking trailers in the area.
While condoling with the family of the deceased, Senator Adeleke endorsed the compensation package already agreed between the owner of the truck and the family of the late University of Ilesa staff, noting that no amount of monetary compensation could replace the loss of a precious life
Senator Adeleke, who also approved the creation of regulations to govern trucking activities along the said road, warned companies operating in the state to be mindful of the safety and security of their host communities.
The Chairman of the committee, Mr Sesan Oyedele, said members of the committee had visited the management of the University, the affected company and the grieving family of the deceased to commiserate and negotiate with them.
It would be recalled that a female staff member of the University of Ilesa died in a ghastly accident on the 3rd of April, 2024 when a container filled with cashew nuts being conveyed by a truck fell on her car.
