The Oyo State House of Assembly has passed into law the Land Use Charge Bill 2023.
This came after consideration of the bill clause by clause on the floor of the house.
On road construction and road rehabilitation in the rural communities, the lawmakers lamented that council authorities often sublet equipment meant for road projects, leading to the equipment being vandalized in the process.
The lawmakers bared their minds in separate contributions at the House plenary, where the House Majority Leader, Hon. Sanjo Adedoyin had brought a motion on the need to urgently order Local Governments and LCDAs to embark on massive rehabilitation of rural road networks.
Hon. Adedoyin had lamented that despite the council areas having equipment such as bulldozers, graders and pay loaders, many rural roads are still in deplorable condition, thus making transportation of farm produce to the urban areas a difficult task.
