I join voices with the Great students of Adekunle-Ajasin University and the Good people of Akungba to call on @RotimiAkeredolu to find a lasting solution to the Akungba road causing frequent accidents and loss of lives!! We want to go to school. Not to the graveyard!

Spent 4 solid years in akungba and i can tell you all that accident on that road is grossly under reported, not even reported at all. One of my friends almost lost his life to accident on 2 occasions in that town. Govt need to address the root cause;else the problem remains

Heavy truck accident, AAUA gate

Nigeria bleeds
Precious souls wasted

As Usual, no medical emergency services on ground to tend to the dead and the dying

Yet, it's only January.

If Ondo State government don't care about the lives of the students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akokoz Ondo State enough to do something about the often accidents in front of the school, then we do! We are students of AAUA and we're tired of dieing!
