Weeds and reptiles have reportedly taken over the abandoned Atiba FM Station building located at Bashorun area in Oyo town due to the inability of Governor Abiola Ajimobi administration to complete the project initiated about four years ago.

Investigation by DESERT HERALD revealed that apart from the over grown weeds that almost consume the uncomplicated building, residents of the area are also afraid of passing through the area due to fear that the abandoned structure could be a hide out for criminals to carry out their nefarious activities.

A former lawmaker representing Oyo-East/Oyo-West Constituency in Oyo state House of Assembly, Hon Muideen Olagunju had lamented the state of the project and many other projects in Oyo town.

He also called on the immediate past governor Abiola Ajimobi led administration in the state to ensure the project was completed by the current new Government.

Some influential indigenes of Oyo town, spoke to DESERT HERALD correspondent in Oyo state on condition of anonymity, berated the Ajimobi the administration for it’s nonchalant attitude towards the project.

They called on the present Oyo state government under the leadership of Engineer Seyi Makinde to as a matter of priority make all effort in completing the project.
