The Oyo State House of Assembly resumed plenary today after a six-week legislative recess, with Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin commending Governor Seyi Makinde’s leadership for its transformative initiatives.
During the sitting, the House reflected on the Executive’s achievements, including the rollout of road infrastructure projects, launch of the Subnational Strategy for AfCFTA, increased IGR without tax hikes, and financial discipline that has positioned Oyo among states with the lowest foreign debt in the South West.
The House passed a motion endorsing the Governor’s developmental agenda and people-focused leadership. Other motions considered included special medical intervention programs for indigent patients and installation of reflective road signs to enhance road safety.
Speaker Ogundoyin also addressed concerns about potential victimization or suspension of lawmakers, assuring that no member would be harassed or unfairly treated. He urged colleagues to stay focused, rise above distractions, and prioritize legislation that uplifts the people and strengthens democratic institutions.
The Speaker’s assurance comes amid recent tensions within the Assembly. With the resumption of plenary, the House is expected to tackle key issues affecting the state, with a focus on good governance and people’s welfare.
