An Osun-based civil society, The Osun Masterminds, has criticized the neglected renovation projects at the Osun State House of Assembly, adding that accountability must be demanded from both the Assembly leadership and the state government.

The Society made this known through its Executive Director, Wasiu Oyedokun-Allí, Allí while speaking with newsmen at this month’s edition of the State of the State Address, where he noted that the renovation of Assembly Gate and Quarters has been ongoing for almost two years, adding that none of the projects have been completed.

“For months, we called out the unfortunate events going on in the Osun State House of Assembly, but it appears like the Assembly and its leadership is currently above accountability. We will however continue to put these issues in the public domain for posterity sake.

It has been almost two years since renovation/reconstruction work commenced on the Assembly Gate and the Assembly Quarters. To date, none of the projects have been completed,” he stated.

While appreciating the state government’s decision to approach the Supreme Court to resolve the local government impasse, the group, however, called on Governor Ademola Adeleke to organize a stakeholders meeting consisting of political parties, faith leaders, and community groups to restore peace and enhance grassroots development.

The Society took the opportunity to urge the state government to prioritize the rehabilitation of Ibokun Imesi Ile Road and Ila Orangun Road, emphasizing that roads are crucial for development in any state and directly affect people’s lives.
