Ogun State House of Assembly has urged the State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Ade Akinsanya to intensify action on reconstruction and rehabilitation of roads across the state.

The Speaker, Mr Oludaisi Elemide, made the call while responding to the submissions of a member representing Ijebu-North East State Constituency, Mr Oluseun Adesanya and his Ifo 2 counterpart, Mr Fola Salami, who reported the situation of roads in their constituencies.

Mr Elemide, who commended the State Government’s proactive measure on road construction and rehabilitation, called for more in all parts of the State.

Earlier in their presentations Mr Adesanya and Mr Salami had called for palliative measures on Stadium- Idomila- Idomowo – Barrack road in Ijebu-North East local government area and the need for the rehabilitation of Taju Bello- Hercules- Giwa road in Ifo 2 State Constituency, which had caused flooding that affected some houses in the area.

Also at the plenary, a bill titled ‘The Principal- General Creation of Office law, 2024’,  scaled first reading as the Clerk of the Assembly,  Mr. Sakiru Adebakin, read the bill for the first time before the State lawmakers.

Meanwhile, the speaker has urged the residents of Agboro village in Obafemi -Owode Local government area of the State who presented a petition on alleged land grabbing to the Assembly to remain calm, as their request would be promptly attended to.

Mr Elemide who noted that the Prince Dapo Abiodun led administration had zero tolerance for land grabbing cases, recalled that  the State House of Assembly had previously passed a law on anti- land grabbing and anti cultism meant to address all issues relating to land grabbing and cultism in all parts of the State.
