A Trail Of Broken Promises: The Story Of Dangote Cement And The People Of Obajan by RipplesNigeria(op): 12:42pm On Mar 14, 2017
NO ACCESS ROAD, NO DRAINAGE SYSTEM, ILL-STRUCTURED OBAJANA-OYO ROAD
As popular as Obajana, the town hosting the largest cement producing company in Sub-Saharan Africa is, there are no tarred access roads within the town. “When Dangote came in to start business here, we were very happy because we thought the presence of the company will bring about speedy development, especially with access roads and a drainage system,” Reuben, one of the residents told our correspondent. “Take a walk through this Obajana and not 1km of tarred access road would be seen,” he lamented.
The only noticeable road is the 10km Obajana-Oyo [concrete] road, the road which stretches through the front of the main entrance of Dangote Cement factory to Oyo, a suburb of Obajana. “Dangote Cement hurriedly fixed that road for selfish interest,” the resident said. “Oyo is where the company, daily, extracts limestone, so they had to fix that road just last month (February, 2017) to ease access for those Indian supervisors who go to the mining sites in Oyo. If the company cared about us, they would have also fixed access roads within Obajana metropolis.

Why don't u ask ur leaders what they have been doing with the money they collect from Dangote?

the Oba is contented with Tankers distributing water, rather than demand for boreholes.

the same road u talking about, is that not the one ur ppl collect toll on daily?
