Group Wants OBALGA Boss To Decongest Roundabout

A socio-cultural group,
Obio/Akpor Youth Agenda (OYA), has called on the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Collins Onunwor, to decongest the popular Rumuokoro roundabout to allow for free flow of traffic.
President of the group, Buduka Willi Okpa while congratulating Onunwor for his re-appointment as CTC of Obio/Akpor advised him to constitute a taskforce that would regulate the activities of commercial drivers and traders on major junctions within the local government area, especially the Rumuokoro roundabout.
Onunwor stated that activities of traders and commercial drivers are responsible for the increased traffic at major junctions in the area.
“As I congratulate him, I also want to charge him to assist the security agencies to decongest Rumuokoro junctions,” he said.
He added that there was an urgent need to create a terminal specifically for commercial drivers.
“He should as a matter of urgency create a terminal and possibly invite commercial drivers and educate them on the usage of this terminal.
“I think it will go a long way to assist us at Rumuokoro roundabout,” he said.
The Tide further reports that the President of the body also called on the CTC chairman of the area to look into the issue of noise pollution caused by mobile traders.
Let me also appeal to him to invite those advertising their herbal drugs at Rumuokoro junction and call them to order.
“We are talking about noise control, so Rumuokoro area should be starting point for the control of this noise pollution in the area.
“He decried the increased rate of noise generated b y these herbal drug sellers which has become unchecked in recent times and called for a framework to check the ugly development.
You see those advertising their herbal medicine, you see them making a lot of noise, inviting people with the loud speakers, I think it is not ideal, they should be properly advised on how to advertise their drugs,” he said.
