The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, is expected to present the 2025 budget before the state House of Assembly on Wednesday.
The Speaker of the House, Adewale Egbedun, disclosed this on Tuesday during plenary.
According to Egbedun, the governor forwarded a letter dated Nov. 11, with the title “Laying of Year 2025 Draft Budget of Osun State before the House”, to the assembly, intimating the Speaker and state lawmakers of the budget presentation.
This is to confirm the extant rules and regulations which stipulate that such a draft budget should be presented to the House for approval at the end of the year preceding the commencement of the budget implementation.

The House thereafter deliberated on the Osun State Property Protection Bill 2024 which eventually scaled the first reading, while the ‘Osun State Drug and Medical Supply Management Agency Establishment Bill 2024’ policy thrust was read by the Majority Leader, Babajide Kofoworola.
The Drug and Medical Supply Management Agency Establishment Bill was passed for a second reading after lawmakers made contributions and stated the advantages of having the agency in the state.
The house later dissolved into the “committee of whole” where they further considered and deliberated on the Osun State Consumer Protection Agency Establishment Bill 2024.
