The speaker, expressed dismay and disappointment towards the disheartening development noting that it is pertinent and crucial for dwellers of Ilesa to portray maximum cooperation and support in making sure the project is completed in no distance time.
A community leader. Mr. Tunde Bibilari expressed dissatisfaction with the situation of Ikoti-Omi Oko-Isokun road which became worse as a result of the pipe laying activities expressing the fear of the community that the contractor might not respect the memorandum of agreement that stipulates that damaged roads in the cause of the installation of pipes must be repaired.
The Onikoti of Ikoti, Chief Olaniyi Fatoye assured honourable Timothy Owoeye that such incident won't repeat itself as he presented the demands of his community that include an electric transformer and assistance at building a community hall.
