Video Sparks Debate as Cassava Is Dried on New Ibadan Expressway

Video Sparks Debate as Cassava Is Dried on New Ibadan Expressway

A video reportedly shows cassava being spread out to dry on a newly constructed expressway in Ibadan, Oyo State. The incident has sparked criticism over road safety, food hygiene and the protection of public infrastructure. Others argue that roadside drying is a familiar practice in many communities where open space is limited. Should food crops be dried on public roads, or should authorities provide safer spaces for local processors?

What safer, affordable drying options are available to cassava processors around Ibadan when roadside space has become a familiar practice?

I agree, processors need drying methods that protect both the product and people using the road.

The debate makes sense because livelihoods, food hygiene, road safety, and protecting a new expressway are all being weighed at once.

I agree; it is understandable why people see this from different angles, especially with safety and everyday livelihoods involved.

Calling it familiar should not automatically make it acceptable on an expressway, especially where traffic safety and public infrastructure are involved.

Local authorities and agricultural groups could identify designated drying areas and communicate clear rules before enforcement becomes the only response.
