While it is common and expedient for the traffic and road Control agency to maintain free flow of traffic and further maintain road exigencies Including accidents and vehicular breakdown removals. However, seeing operatives in the business of fixing potholes with labour paraphanalias like shovels,wheelbarrows are somewhat catchy to the passersby's attention.
The Yoruba Parlance coined such habits as Omoluwabi,that means "good child exhibits good character"
As the Ogun State people are known for Omoluabi, the state Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) officers on Tuesday exhibited the real Omoluabi in them by embarking on rehabilitation of some potholes along the road with granite recovered from an accident vehicle.
The uniformed officers from the state traffic management agency were seen with shovels and bags removing spilled granites to fill potholes along the Aderupoko, Osiele axis of the Abeokuta – Ibadan road.
This singular action from thee officers hereby received commendation from motorists especially the commercial drivers plying their trade along Abeokuta-Ibadan road on daily basis.
The Odeda Divisional Commander of TRACE, Mr. Olalekan Adewale who led the officers explained that the officers decided to use the wasted granite at the accident spot to fill the bad portions on the road to prevent other accident and to make the axis motorable.
Some of the motorists passing through the axis while speaking with newsmen were full of gratitude to the officers and commended the road maintenance efforts of the TRACE officers.
The road users gave kudos to the TRACE Corps officers for going beyond their usual duties of maintaining free flow of traffic to rehabilitate part of the road which was expected to make the road passable.
