Students of the Federal College of Education (FCE), Abeokuta, have called on the Federal Government and the Ogun State Government to urgently rehabilitate the Osiele Camp Road, describing it as a “death trap” for road users.
Speaking on behalf of the student body, the President of the Student Union Government (SUG), Senator Comrade Okun David Adebowale, said the road’s poor state has continued to endanger the lives of students, staff, travelers, and residents of Osiele town.
He noted that the major access road to the institution has been neglected for years, leaving it riddled with potholes and unsafe for commuters, especially during the rainy season. According to him, the situation has also disrupted academic activities as students face difficulty accessing the campus.
Adebowale appealed to Governor Dapo Abiodun to make the rehabilitation of the road a priority, stressing that safe and accessible infrastructure is critical to the well-being of students and the development of education in the state.
“This road is becoming a death trap for both students, travelers, and residents of Osiele town. We humbly request urgent intervention to make it safe for all,” he said. The students reaffirmed their commitment to peaceful advocacy while urging the government to act swiftly.
