Oyo State House of Assembly has invited officials of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), South West Zone, over what it described as the deplorable state of Federal roads in the state.
The invitation followed deliberations during plenary presided by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Abiodun Fadeyi on a motion by the Leader of the House, Mr Sanjo Adedoyin, titled ” Need to Urgently Call on the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to Repair and Rehabilitate Deplorable Federal Roads Across Oyo State.”
Mr. Adedoyin mentioned that inner roads in the Ogbomoso metropolis suffered because heavy-duty trucks avoided the Oyo-Ogbomoso road presently under construction.
The motion had called on the Federal Ministry of Works to mandate FERMA to embark on emergency repairs of the inner roads for failing to provide alternative palliatives while embarking on the renovation of the Oyo-Ogbomoso road.
Contributing, some of the lawmakers, Mr. Gbenga Oyekola (Atiba), Abideen Ogundele (Ogo Oluwa/Surulere), and Mabaje Rasaq (Ido), noted that the issue of deplorable Federal roads spread across all zones of the state.
However, Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Mr. Abiodun Fadeyi noted that it was in order to invite the FERMA to come to the Assembly to explain what it was doing to fix federal roads in the state.
In another motion, the Honourable M. Azeez, representing the Kajola constituency, called on the executive arm of government to see to the creation of fire service stations in each of the 33 local government areas of the state.
