Isawo-owutu road is a state road located in agric ikorodu city. The road is a busy road because it connect several towns together. They all make use of it. It is the center road connecting all these towns.

During, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu regime as Lagos state governor the road was first constructed between 2002-2003, I remember then I came to asolo for private GCE. It was N20 then, from agric to asolo, now due to inflation and economy recession is N100 during day; night N150 or N200 from agric bus stop.

Presently, the road is under construction due to expansion. The main purpose for that is to link the road to Lagos-ibadan expressway. Even from Isawo one can see the back of RCCG camp. The church has purchased lands to the community and RCCG are planning to construct road that will link to the camp. This will be alternative routine road to the camp.

When it was first constructed it was very good but due to poor drainage system, the road became devastated and degraded by intense rainfall, pressure, heat, and several human activities on the road cause the devastation. The worst part is alfar river, we are lucky this year because of change of climatic condition we would have experience river overflowing its bank.

DEVELOPMENTAL AGENDA

The agenda for the road development has being on plan since ex-governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Several efforts was made by the communities developmental committees. The cause of the first devastation of the road was due to poor drainage system.

Which the people cry to government for help but it was during ex-governor Amdode that the reconstruction and expansion begins, the project is till ongoing as you can see in the pictures. It going to be interlock road due to the purpose it will serve as interstate road.

PROGRESSIVE AGENDA

The road being the busy type and major road connecting people from agbede transformer, igbo-Olomu, owutu, isawo to mention few. Is proposed to be structurely design and beautify to add aesthetic values to the road. Also future interstate road link will be constructed along Igbolomu way because it link to sagamu. The idea behind it was to reduce pressure and traffic congestion along Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

CHALLENGES

Presently is not easy to move on the road especially early morning before 12noon. The best time to move is 5am or 6am if ones' have important place to go. If not by 2:00pm the road is less busy. Also, around 8:00pm to 10:00pm the road is not safe to move due to high traffic congestion, presence of bottleneck etc.

Transport fare is always alarming especially during raining season. Also some hoodlums rob on the road during traffic. I have witness one in which they point gun to a guy in Toyota Camry and ask him for money. So due to this most car owner do wine-up their glass.
