He also called on the State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure as well as the Environment to improve on the maintenance of road medians across the State to be free of weeds.
In another development, Elemide raised concerns over the exposure of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, candidates to harsh weather conditions, as they were made to stand in open spaces.
The speaker noted that such act poses risks to their health and wellbeing, urging JAMB to adopt more humane and effective arrangements in managing candidates taking turn to sit for the examination.
He sought the provision of a waiting shed for candidates outside examination halls, while they wait for their scheduled time for the examination to protect them from harsh weather conditions including rains during examination.
