The uneven and dust-ridden road has led many residents to abandon their cars, opting instead for motorcycles, locally known as “okada”, as their primary mode of transportation.

However, the increasing incidents of motorcycle theft by unidentified individuals have discouraged okada riders from frequenting the area, leaving residents with limited transportation options.

“The road has always been like this, but it worsens when the rains set in, and it affects both passengers and drivers alike. We keep on complaining, but nothing is being done about it, so we will plead for the government to heed our cry. We are always visiting Abossey Okai for repair works on this road. Due to the constant damage on our vehicles, most drivers refuse to even ply the road, leaving a lot of passengers frustrated and stranded,” Abed Oduro lamented

Tebu’s Assemblyman, Ahortor Ebenezer, has stated that the road’s condition has deteriorated and requires more than a simple reshaping; adding that what they need is a complete overhaul, including an asphalt overlay.

Residents say they are tired of broken promises and insist that immediate and lasting action is needed to restore the road and ease the suffering of the thousands who rely on it every day.
