The Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko has ordered that immediate rescue work commences at the failed portions of the Akure/ Owo/Benin express way where about 32 souls perished in a multiple accident earlier in the week pending when the Federal Government would move to the site.
Mimiko who had earlier visited the scene on his way to Abuja on Tuesday revisited the failed spots on Thursday alongside state officials including officials of the State Ministry of Works and ordered the immediate commencement of work on the failed spots in order to stop a re-occurrence of such unfortunate incident.
The Governor, who betrayed emotion at the scene of the accident, described the situation of the road as deplorable and unacceptable.
It would be recalled that when the administration on assumption of office in 2009 repaired whole portions of the express road from the end of the road up to Ogbese on the same road due to it's deplorable state.
Similar intervention exercises had been carried out on Federal roads in the State by the administration as virtually all federal government roads in the state had been abandoned in their frightful conditions while
harried commuters plying the routes to the Eastern and Northern parts of the country are wont to be heard complaining bitterly and heaping blames on the State government as they are often ignorant of the fact that the roads are indeed federal ones.
