… Receives Petition on Land Grabbing
The Ogun State House of Assembly has called on the State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Ade Akinsanya, to intensify efforts on road reconstruction and rehabilitation across the state.
Speaker Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide made the call in response to concerns raised by members Hon. Oluseun Adesanya and Hon. Fola Salami about the deplorable condition of roads in their constituencies.
While acknowledging the state government’s progress in road construction and rehabilitation, the Speaker emphasized the need for more work to be done in all parts of the state.
The lawmakers specifically requested palliative measures on the Stadium-Idomila-Idomowo-Barrack road in Ijebu-North East local government area and the rehabilitation of Taju Bello-Hercules-Giwa road in Ifo 2 State Constituency, which has caused flooding and affected houses in the area.
In other business, a bill titled “HB. No. 016/OG/2024 – The Principal-General (Creation of Office) Law, 2024” passed its first reading on the floor of the Assembly.
Meanwhile, the Speaker has assured residents of Agboro village, Obafe, in Obafemi-Owode Local government area, who presented a petition on alleged land grabbing, that their request would be promptly attended to.
The Speaker noted that the state government has zero tolerance for land grabbing and that the Assembly had previously passed a law to address such issues.
