He however called on the Ondo State Government to assist the council in rehabilitating the only road that leads to the community.

He said, “no-government officials wants to stay in this type of environment where there are no good roads and other amenities that can make life bearable for the people.  Immediately they are posted to the community, they will be tired of lack of basic amenities thereby working their transfer back to the town.”

One of the residents of the ancient community who spoke with Oodua Trust, Mr Andrew Oyile, said Ogbo community has been abandoned in terms of development and other basic amenities for over 30 years, calling on government at all levels to come to the aid of the  community by rehabilitating the only road that leads to the community.
