The Chairman of the Ad-Hoc Committee Hon Kamaldeen Fagbemi had while raising a Matter of General Public Importance, briefed the House that the resolutions of the House were yet to be complied with due to lack of funds and equipment to carry out the directive by the State Town Planning and Development Authority.

The House equally directed its Joint Committees on Land, Housing and Urban Development as well as Agriculture and Water Resources to look into the issue of indiscriminate construction of shops on set backs along GSS-Fate road and Water Reservoirs opposite University of Ilorin staff quarters along Umaru Audi road.
