VC COMMENDS FG FOR ROAD REHABILITATION

The Vice- Chancellor of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, Professor Timothy Adebayo,   has commended the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) for responding to numerous calls by many well-meaning Nigerians, including the Vice- Chancellor, for the repair or rehabilitation of the dilapidated Oyo- Ogbomoso Road.

The Vice- Chancellor made the commendation in the wake of the ongoing rehabilitation work  on  the road. The road which leads from Oyo to Ogbomoso, Ilorin and other places has been in a very bad state for a long time. When he assumed office as the Vice- Chancellor of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo on October 2, 2020, Professor Timothy Adebayo issued a press statement urging the Federal Government to do something about the state of the road because of its economic importance and the   effect it has on staff and students of the University who ply  it every day. Adebayo had stated that the road was a major entry for food items into Oyo town, which is why the road has great economic impact. He said staff and students of Ajayi Crowther University were directly affected by the poor nature of the road, especially the portion near the University Gate.

The Federal Road Maintenance Agency ( FERMA)  has embarked on repairs of the bad portion near the University gate. A staff of the Agency, who declined  giving his name, said the repairs would be completed before the end of the year.
