Governor Makinde goes on vacation August 5
Governor Seyi Makinde has written to the Oyo House of Assembly to inform it of his intention to embark on his annual leave.
The governor’s letter was read on the floor of the parliament by the speaker, Adebo Ogundoyin, during Thursday’s valedictory plenary held in honour of Yetunde Awe, the clerk.
The governor also indicated in his message his desire to transfer executive powers to Deputy Governor Bayo Lawal.
Mr Lawal is to serve in an acting capacity in Mr Makinde’s absence, and Makinde’s leave will begin on August 5 and end on September 6.
“Based on Section 190 sub-section 1, I hereby transmit that during the period indicated above, Deputy Governor Lawal shall be the acting governor. I shall be back from the vacation on September 7,” Mr Makinde said in the letter.
Similarly, the parliament also swore in Taiwo Muraina-Akinola, formerly the deputy clerk, as the substantive clerk of the house to replace Ms Awe, who was retiring from the state civil service.
Ms Muraina-Akinola’s swearing-in followed her recommendation by the House of Assembly Commission.
