The Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide, has called on his co-lawmakers to carry out oversight on their constituency projects to ensure that the contractors handling the projects deliver them in line with the required standard contained in the projects’ documentation.

Rt. Hon. Elemide, who threw the challenge during the plenary, seized the occasion to clarify that the funds for the constituency projects were paid directly to the contractors handling the projects, and it was the duty of each lawmaker to monitor the project execution process to ensure compliance to the standards in line with due process contained in the bidding by the various contractors handling the projects in all the State
Constituencies.

He thanked Governor Dapo Abiodun for approving the constituency project funds, which he explained were paid to the contractors for the execution of the various projects in all the State Constituencies.

In the same, the Speaker has challenged the State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Ade Akinsanya, to speed up works on the roads recently damaged by rainfall in some parts of the State.

He threw the challenge while responding to the submission of the Assembly Minority Leader, Hon. Lukman Adeleye, who reported that the last rainfall had caused damage to the road linking Ososa junction- Itanrin- Sabo Molode, and as such, required an immediate government’s attention due to the various human and vehicular movements involving school children and other residents of the affected areas.

Commending Government’s efforts on Infrastructural development across the State, the Speaker charged the State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to embark on more palliative measures to ease the plight of the road users in the affected areas in the State.

Earlier while speaking under ‘ Matters of Urgent Public Importance’, Hon. Adeleye lamented the havoc wreaked by the last downpour causing major damage to the road, which he described as critical to his Odogbolu State Constituency, as well as Ijebu-Ode State Constituency.
