RESIDENTS of Ogere, a sleepy town located along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ikenne LGA of Ogun State have appealed to the state government to complete the N1bn abandoned Ogere International Farm Market.

The residents claimed that hoodlums had turned the abandoned multi-billion naira project into a rendezvous from where kidnap, rape and robbery are launched on them.

They appealed that government intervention would save them from the menace of hoodlums in the area.

Speaking on behalf of the community, the Ogere community leader, Chief Olajumoke Oluwafemi, said the project would also enhance their local economy when completed.
