The House:
Notes that the above named road, network which were initially designed for restricted access now serve the dual purposes of being both interstate and township roads;
Aware that the dual functions the now perform have culminated in their deterioration as they were not originally meant to have intersections, subways and bus stops which have been resulting in accidents with fatalities;
Also aware of the busy nature of the roads which causes heavy gridlock, thus making commuters spent countless hours on the road with attendant hardship and frustration;
Concerned about the dilapidated, dysfunctional, and unaesthetic appearances of the Roads and believes that only the expansion and upgrade of the Roads will solve these perennial problems confronting commuters;
RESOLVES TO:
(i) Urge the Federal Ministry of Works, Power and Housing to as a matter of expediency, commence actions on the redesign and reconstruction of both Iwo Road - Asejire end of Ibadan - Ife Expressway and Ojoo - Iwo Road - Toll Gate (Ibadan) end of Ibadan - Lagos Expressway with a view to upgrading and expanding them from the present 4 Lane Highway to a combination of 6 Lane Highway and 4 Lane Service Road;
(ii) Also urge the Federal Road Maintenance Agency to urgently rehabilitate all existing facilities of the roads, including the ancillary connections in order to ameliorate the sufferings of commuters;
(iii) Mandate the Committee on Works, FERMA and Legislative Compliance to ensure compliance.
