The governor said the hardship motorists and commuters plying the road which leads to the Northern and Southern parts of the country were going through have become unbearable.
This unpleasant situation according to the governor prompted the State Government to order its Direct Labour Agency to begin work on the failed portions despite having been told by FERMA that the state would not be reimbursed at the completion of the rehabilitation.
The Director in charge of Direct Labour Agency in the State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Engineer Stephen Akinbode said two failed portions have been identified on the ever busy highway from the Owode end after the Akure airport to Eleyowo area .
He said after clearing the existing block drains on the road, proper stone base will be put before asphalting.
He assured that the work would be completed within two weeks.
