In its determination towards ensuring motorable roads in the country, a bill to grant more financial powers in case of emergency needs to finance deplorable and urgent Federal Government roads budgeted for in the nation's annual budget  while the annual appropriation is awaiting President's assent, is underway in the House of Representatives.

The Chairman, House Committee on Works, Hon.  Ogbuefi Ozomgbechi, made the disclosure yesterday in Ibadan, , the Oyo State capital, while briefing  journalists  after he led members of his committee on tour of Ibadan-Oyo-Ogbomoso section one and two of the road to ascertain level of compliance with the government's quality assurance of the projects being carried out by PW and Reynolds Construction Company.

The lawmaker who  was led to the project sites by the Controller of Works for Oyo State, Engr. John Omorekpe,  said the bill will among other things, grant concession to qualify and competent contractors who could assist it in making the roads motorable thus making Nigerians get value for their money.

He  said, "There must be full compliance with the design, quality and specification on the various projects being undertaken for the government. The era of business as usual is gone for good. We will not relent at making Nigerians get value for their money.
