Egbeda/Ona ara Federal Constituency.
Having resumed and settled

fulfilment of the promises he made to the good and wonderful people of
his constituency in bringing dividend of democracy back to them and also
giving the constituency quality representation on the floor of the
House.
Hon. Taiwo Michael Akintola MNSE, MHR did a tremendous job
on the floor of the House in making sure that bills and petitions were
presented to the honourable members in the hallow chamber and resolved,
few among the lists are:
Hon. (Engr.) Taiwo Michael Akintola MNSE, MHR during the sitting in Nov. 2015 on the floor of the house presented :
"URGENT NEED FOR THE REHABILITATION OF
BEERE-OLORUNSOGO-AKANRAN-DAGBOLU-IJEBU IGBO ROAD IN OYO STATE" on the
floor of the house.
He notes the deplorable state of
Beere-Olorunsogo-Akanran-Dagbolu-Ijebu lgbo road which is filled with
craters that are making the road impassable; he also notes that this
condition was occasioned by years of failure to maintain the road, which
led to its degeneration to its present state which is hindering access
to the neighbouring communities, especially during harvest and rainy
seasons;
he was concerned that the numerous potholes and craters on
the road have caused accidents that have claimed many lives and have
also encouraged the activities of marauders who take advantage of the
bad road to rob and maim commuters.
After all said and done, the house resolves to:
(1) Urge the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to, as a matter
of urgency, embark on sectional and spot rehabilitation on the road as a
palliative measure, pending its reconstruction; and
(2) mandate the
Committee on Works to ascertain the extent of failure of the road for
the purpose of appropriating funds for the rehabilitation of
Beere-Olorunsogo-Akanran-Dagbolu-Ijebu Igbo Road in the 2016
Appropriation proposal and report back to the House within eight (8)
weeks.
Again our distinguished
honourable, Hon. (Engr.) Taiwo Michael Akintola MNSE, MHR during the
sitting in Dec. 2015 on the floor of the house presented :

Also
Hon. (Engr.) Taiwo Michael Akintola MNSE, MHR during the sitting in
March 2016, on the floor of the House of Representatives moved a motion
passed by the House on
"NEED FOR THE IBADAN DRY PORT TO COMMENCE OPERATION TO SAVE IT FROM GOING MORIBUND".
The House:
Notes that in 2006, the Federal Government approved the setting up of
five Inland Container Depots (ICDs) and three Container Freight Stations
(CFS) and while the ICDs were located in Oyo, Abia, Plateau, Bauchi and
Kano States, the three Container Freight Stations were sited in
Katsina, Borno and Gombe States;
Also notes that the Oyo State
Government, with 35% stake in Catamaran Logistics Limited, the
concessionaires of Ibadan Dry Port, had earlier sought and obtained
approval for redesignation of the ICD status in Ibadan to Inland Dry
Port (IDP);
Aware that the IDP as against ICD, has status of Port of origin and destination, so that it can serve consigned cargoes;
Also aware that commencement of operations by Ibadan Dry Port would
boost the revenue of surrounding States attract Investors, improve
economic activities of the people and create employment for the Youth;
Worried that despite the heavy financial Investment in the Project
since 2006 and completion of all Infrastructure since 2014 for its
takeoff, the Project is still not operational;
Also worried that the
Infrastructure in place, like roads, Office Buildings and Equipment are
either deteriorating or liable to vandalization, if the Project is
allowed to remain idle;
RESOLVES TO:
1. Mandate the Committees
on Ports, Harbours and Waterways, and Industry to liaise with Officials
of the Ministries of Commerce and Industry with a view to determine the
current status of the Project and facilitate its commencement of
operations and report to the House within four weeks; and
2. Urge
the Inspector General of Police to, in the interim, provide adequate
security for the Buildings and other Infrastructure in the Ibadan Dry
Port, Erunmu, Egbeda Locyal Government Area of Oyo State to prevent
their vandalization pending its Inauguration.
