The Deputy Speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Abdulwasi Musah has revealed that in comparison with the efforts of the previous Assemblies of the state, the 8th Assembly has performed well above average within its two years of inauguration.
Hon Musah, who made this known at an exclusive interview with CEOAfrica on its online television programme ‘Community Today’ explained that unlike its predecessors, the 8th Assembly of Oyo State has been focusing on activities that has a direct bearing and impact on the people of the state.
Reeling out the accomplishments of the Oyo Assembly in the last two years, the lawmaker representing Saki West constituency of the state stated that in addition to other legislative functions, that the state’s legislative arm has passed 46 Bills into law, has 11 bills in various committee stages and has passed 80 resolutions.
The graduate of Law from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife further mentioned that the House of Assembly has been engaging in numerous over-sight functions that have enabled the lawmakers to checkmate the excesses of the executive arm of the state’s government. He said “The 8th Assembly has been able to follow with due diligence, the way money appropriated to the executive is being spent and we ensure that projects embarked on are properly executed.”
Involvement of Oyo Assembly in LAUTECH’s Crisis
The Deputy Speaker further mentioned that the Oyo State House of Assembly has been actively involved in tackling the challenges currently facing Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomosho. He revealed that the 8th Assembly had anticipated the impending problem of the Institution and had promptly moved a motion that the ownership of LAUTECH should be severed from Osun State.
He explained that despite Osun State’s refusal to relinquish ownership to Oyo State, they still had difficulty remitting their quota of the university’s subvention – a short-coming which contributed to the escalated crisis the school is currently battling with.
