THE House of Representatives on Thursday urged the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing to repair failed sections of the Warri-Benin highway.
The House also called on the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to deploy more security men to the road to protect citizens from being attacked.
The House made the call at plenary following the unanimous adoption of a motion moved by the member representing Isoko North/South Federal Constituency, Hon. Jonathan Ajirioghene Ukodhiko, and seconded by member representing Ovia Federal Constituency, Hon. Dennis Idahosa.
In the motion titled “Urgent need to repair and rehabilitate failed sections of Warri-Benin Road,” Ukodhiko called on the House to direct relevant Federal Government agencies to effect repairs on the failed portions of the road.
Ukodhiko said the motion had become imperative following the suffering of motorists and commuters, particularly Deltans, plying the Warri-Benin motorway.
He said the deplorable state of the road had become a death trap for motorists and a source of perpetual fear to commuters and people living around the areas as a result of criminal activities.
The prayer of the motion was amended by Hon. Nwobi to extend the rehabilitation work to the Port-Harcourt axis of the road.
The motion was adopted by the House and referred to all the relevant House committees for further action.
