Ten years after the Cross River State government and African Development Bank (AFDB) jointly awarded the Yahe-Wanokom-Wanikade-Benue border road for construction under the Cross River Rural Access and Mobility Project (CR-RAMP), the project remains abandoned, while the supposed beneficiaries continue to lament deaths, loss of livelihoods and increasing poverty due to the deplorable state of the road, SUNDAY ELOM reports.
BAD roads, lack of access to modern farm implements, lack of funds, insecurity and climate change notwithstanding, women-farmers in Oke-Ogun, Oyo State, have alleged that inputs meant for them are diverted to non-farmers within the area.
