Nigerian Bar association, the Ota Branch of Ogun State, has protested the bad road condition in Ogun State, issuing the Federal Government an ultimatum of 14-days to address the issue.
Some of the branch members, who took to the streets to protest, issued this ultimatum barely one week after the Founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, released a sum of N650 million funds to fix the roads.
The roads to be repaired are Old Tollgate which is the border between Lagos and Ogun states. The repairs will also cover the Idi-iroko expressway from Oju-ore to Oiyana-Iyesi all the way down to Sango.
The Herald reported that Bishop David Oyedepo disclosed that the N650 million budgeted for the road construction had already been approved and disbursed to contractors who have commenced repairs. The Bishop further said Canaanland is the home where giants are birthed to take dominion and rule their world.

PUNCH, a newspaper publication firm in Nigeria, who reported the protest by the Lawyers, quoted the Branch chairman, Isaac Ogbah who said;
“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.
“We are giving the Federal Government 14 days to make a specific statement on these roads.”
