Igbogbo residents, who had been complaining about the failure of the construction giant, Hitech Construction Limited, to begin work months after the demolition of their houses to pave way for the proposed highway, woke up on Thursday, May 4, 2018, to see construction workers engaging in excavating work at a portion close to Club 24 junction which is located at the middle of the ancient town.
Motorists, who did not pay attention to the road diversion signs strategically placed along the road, were seen making U-turn at the point where the road was closed for the ongoing construction work to take another route.
The highway, which is over seven kilometers, will pass through the heart of Igbogbo kingdom to link Igbe, Ijede and several other communities along that axis.
A resident of Igbogbo confirmed to THE IMPACT that construction work actually started on the road from the heart of the town on Wednesday, May 2, 2018.
