No vehicle had entered the communities since conception, but the state governor, Hon Seriake Dickson, leading other government officials and his friend, a former deputy governor of Sokoto state, Alhaji Murktar Shagari, broke the curse with the ongoing construction of the N30 billion Sagbama-Ekeremor road project by his administration.

The road, which is 60 per cent completed, is expected to be completed in 2018. Joyous villagers, who saw vehicles only when they traveled to cities and never believed that vehicles will come into the locality in their lifetime, trooped out in large numbers to welcome the governor and his entourage.
At the moment, Toru-Orua, Angalabiri, and Ofoni on the Sagbama council area axis could be reached comfortably by road while the Ayamasa and Aleibiri stretch in Ekeremor council area could be reached by four- wheel vehicles.
