Abokobi: Many stranded as trotro drivers strike over poor roads

Commercial drivers who ply the Oyarifa-Abokobi road to various parts of the Greater Accra Region have embarked on a sit-down strike over the poor state of that road.

According to the protesting drivers, plying the road has left many of them sick with waist pains while they expend their income on maintenance of their vehicles.

They have, therefore, served notice the sit-down strike will be staged for one week.

Some passengers affected by the action were of firm belief that it could pay off.

“I think the road here has been bad for a while so what they are doing it will affect us for today but in the long run they are trying to draw awareness and situation to this,” one said.

“I can’t really complain much. If it’s only for today, that is okay.”
