Osun assembly passes local government amendment bill
The Osun House of Assembly on Monday passed a bill amending certain sections of the state’s local government law.
The bill titled “Osun State Local Government Amendment No. 2 Bill 2026” was passed after the third reading at the assembly’s plenary in Osogbo, the state capital.
Meanwhile, the assembly’s committee chairman on public accounts, Lawal Bamidele, had earlier presented the committee’s report on the bill, with intended recommendations.
The speaker of the assembly, Adewale Egbedun, called for the adoption of the report, while Babajide Adewumi, the majority leader, moved the motion for its adoption.
The motion for the bill’s third reading was also moved by Mr Adewumi and was thereafter passed.
Mr Egbedun, after the bill’s passage, said clean copies would be forwarded to Governor Ademola Adeleke for his assent.
The amendment bill seeks to amend the Osun State Local Government Law, Cap. 72, Vol. IV, Laws of Osun State 2002, and other matters therein.
The House, however, adjourned its sitting until March 2.
