ODHA Charges To Do Thorough Jobs

Ondo State House of Assembly has charged contractors handling rehabilitation and construction of roads across the state to do a thorough job that will stand the test of time.

The House Committee on Works and Infrastructure gave the charge during its oversight visit to the sites of roads under construction and rehabilitation in the Northern Senatorial District area of the state.

Speaking with Journalists, the Chairman of the Committee, Dr Adeyemi Olayemi who expressed satisfaction with the level of work done on the dualisation of Ikare township road phase two, commended the contractor handling the project for adhering to standard.

Olayemi, who is the Chief Whip of the House and a member representing Owo state constituency ll, said the governor has invested so much in infrastructure across the state and the people of the state are happy with the development through their reactions and comments.

The Chairman however frowned at the slow pace of job at Iyere/Ipele phase one and two in Owo local government.

While saying that the contractor handling phase one was not on site during the visit despite the fact that he was informed about the oversight function, he posited that the House would take it up at the parliamentary meeting.

He stressed that the committee was not also satisfied with the work at phase two and therefore called on the supervisor of the project to be on site on Monday to defend what they have done.

Olayemi informed that the oversight visit was to see how far they have gone with projects as approved in the budget.

Meanwhile, residents of the place visited eulogised the Akeredolu-led government for the infrastructural development in the state, adding that they will forever be grateful for bringing relief to motorists and people plying the roads.

Other road projects inspected included failed section along Owo/Ikare road, construction and rehabilitation of Molege junction to Ute township road, Iyere/Igbe road, among others.
