DAILY POST reports that many travellers and indigenes of Ogbnomso have made several appeals to the Federal Government to complete the new Ibadan-Oyo-Ogbnomso-Ilorin expressway.
Our correspondent learnt that many passengers are still plying the old road due to the non-completion of the new road.

Investigation made by DAILY POST on Saturday revealed that many of the traders plying the Ibadan-Oyo-Ogbomoso-Ilorin federal road within Ogbomoso metropolis have resorted to selling off their perishable goods at ridiculously low prices to avert total losses.
An Ogbomoso indigene, Mr Adebowale Akindele, disclosed that he purchased goat at a very low price from a stranded truck conveying livestock.
He said, “Livestock like goat, sheep and even cattle as well as other perishable goods like pepper, tomato and others are being disposed off by traders transporting them from the northern part of the country at reduced prices to residents of Ogbomoso.”
