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.
