Foundation rehabilitates community roads in Ijebu north

Succour has come to the residents of Mamu area in Ifelodun, Ijebu North Local Government area of Ogun State as a foundation named, Lateefat Atinuke Martins Kuye Foundation (LAMAK) met their long yearnings for good road network which has been a challenge especially to the farmers/market women of the surrounding communities.

The roads from Awori Jeje, Ipakodo, Alebiosu, Erilawo, Abata, Ojokodo etc, which were at a deplorable state and causes a lot of havoc and hardship to the villagers, have been rehabilitated to link access road to Mamu market where goods and farm products are being sold.

The gesture according to the founder of the foundation, Dr Gbolahan Martins Kuye, was a community development initiative program of LAMAK Foundation and parts of its social responsibilities.

“The project was necessitated because of the yearning for good road network by the villagers to ease the problems of transporting goods/farm produce from various villages within the axis to Mamu market.

‘’This was the complaint we got when the foundation team visited the villages on a different mission. Though our visit then was aimed at reaching out to the communities within in our mission at enhancing community health care by providing free medical services to the people.

“We saw the need to meet their agitation first because it has to do with their means of livelihood.‘’ Dr Gbolahan said.
