OGUN SPEAKER UNDERSCORES ESSENCE OF TEAMWORK IN LEGISLATIVE PROCESS

       

 The Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Suraju Ishola Adekunbi, says a viable and vibrant legislature could only be achieved when there is a harmonious synergy between Lawmakers and the House of Assembly Service Commission which will in turn lead to improved productivity and quality service delivery.
          Adekunbi said this while playing host to the members of the Assembly Service Commission who paid courtesy call on the leadership of the House at the Assembly Complex, Oke- Mosan, Abeokuta.
          He assured the Commission of adequate support and cooperation in achieving the overall goal of the State legislature, stressing the need for the commission to redouble its effort especially in the area of capacity building and welfare of staff.
          The Speaker noted that the eighth legislature was committed to improving the quality of lives of the people through a better, viable but people -oriented legislation.
          Responding, the Chairman of the Commission, Barr. Adebayo Adesegun assured that members of the Board would give the necessary support to the honourable members to achieve more in terms of staff development, welfare and promotion amongst other.
          According to him, some outstanding issues relating to promotion and discipline had just been addressed.
         Meanwhile, Speaker Adekunbi has promised that Government will do all within its power to promote a crisis-free society through effective security network in all parts of the State.
          Adekunbi stated this while responding to the presentation of a member representing Yewa North II State Constituency, Hon. Rasaq Oduntan on the alleged invasion of farmlands in some communities within his constituency by Hausa/Fulani herdsmen leading to the destruction of farmlands and death of innocent people.
          The Speaker, who urged the people to continue to promote peaceful co-existence, promised that the State Government in collaboration with the State Command of the Nigeria Police would take proactive steps in addressing the menace of the herdsmen.
          He noted that all hands must be on deck to rid the State of crimes and criminality so as to consolidate on the success of the ongoing rebuilding mission of the State Government.
          Earlier in his presentation, Hon. Oduntan said that his constituents had been experiencing incessant invasions and destruction of their farmlands by herdsmen and in the process killing the farm owners.
