Lawyers protest over bad roads in Ogun

Lawyers under the aegis of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Ota branch, Ogun state, have issued a 14-day ultimatum to the federal government to repair bad roads in the state.

The lawyers, led by Isaac Ogbah, the branch chairman, held a protest to express their displeasure on the state of the roads in the state, on Thursday.

Ogbah said the roads are deplorable, adding that lawyers find it difficult to get to court in time.

He said the group will move to the next phase of engagement at the end of the 14-day ultimatum.

“There is no good road in Ogun State. All the roads have failed. The lawyers and judges don’t get to courts on time due to the condition of these roads. The residents too are suffering,” he said.

“We are giving the Federal Government 14 days to make a specific statement on these roads. After 14 days if we don’t hear from them, we shall move to the next phase.”
