According to reports, Amosun gave the explanation during a press conference in his office in Abeokuta. The Governor said, “Why I am against Dangote is that the heavy trucks of the company damage the roads. An example is Ilaro-Papalanto road. Is it the cars of our people that destroyed the roads? No! It is the heavy trucks of the company.''
The Governor said the company has refused to contribute to fixing the bad roads.

Amosun, Oniyeye Ale Amuda. Alainikanse tin da pari osu. What are you with your monthly allocations? What are your senators doing with their constituency allocation? What about the IGR from the state?
ReplyDeleteSo, because Dangote refused to give back to the host community, you too decided not to fix your roads. What are you doing with the tax the company paid into the state covers? Remember that the trucks too are going to other states with the same load. Must all states wait till Dangote will come and do the roads?
One huge mistake Nigeria government is doing is the ability to ask contractors to get roads fixed and sign an agreement of warranty for the roads. You can't spent billions to fix roads and the next raining season the roads are death traps. If only contract amount are truly the way they are estimated in their projects funds. Contractors to those roads know fully well the heavy trucks going in and out. they know what should be done to keep the road safe and last long.
