Barely two weeks after Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, ordered immediate rehabilitation of the Owo / Ikare expressway , work has also started on the failed portion of the ever busy Akure - Owo expressway in Owode community.

Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, had directed that immediate work should commence on the road to put an end to the hardship motorists and commuters plying the road go through on daily basis.

The Governor while speaking during an inspection tour on the road said the move was imperative due to the importance of the road being the only route that connects the South West to the Northern and Southern parts of the country .

Akeredolu stressed that the state government had to work on the failed portion despite been told by Federal Road Maintainance Agency (FERMA) that the state will not be reimbursed .

He said he had to direct that immediate work should be carried out on the road after FERMA said its intervention on the road could only come after eight weeks.

The Director in - charge of direct labour in the State ministry of works and infrastructure, Stephen Akinbode said two failed portions have been identified on the ever busy highway from the owode end after the Akure airport to Eleyowo area . He said the job will be completed within the next two weeks.
