In his quest for socio-economic transformation and development, the Olujigba of the Ijigba community in Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State, Oba(Amb.) Luyi Rotimi had called on Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to help construct a link bridge between the Ijigba and Ilekun communities as a matter of urgency.

He also requested that the state government help construct roads in the community and rehabilitate those in deplorable conditions.

Oba Rotimi explained that the deplorable state of the roads and the collapsed bridge have hindered the seamless transportation of farm produce between the two communities.
