Emmanuel Ibhadode to mount barricades in some areas within the metropolis to stop the influx of heavy duty trucks using the interiors of Ekpoma roads as exit point because of the current poor condition of the Benin/Auchi express way. 

Comrade Obasanmi, the Convener, CEESF, also used the opportunity to inform the Executive Chairman of pertinent issues that require the Chairman's urgent attention which borders on Education, Security, Health, Waste Management, Water and road maintenance. 

With respect to the negative activities of the Taskforce set up by the new Council Management, to protect the roads against heavy duty trucks, the Convener, CEESF advised that, due monitoring of the activities of the task force should be embarked upon.
