Read the Resolutions of Osun State Executive Council

AT THE END OF THE MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE STATE OF OSUN ON WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2017, THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.

Council will like the people of the State of Osun to know that government has put in place several empowerment programmes in agriculture like food cropping, chicken rearing and piggery, among others. Many of these opportunities are underutilised.

Council therefore urged young people, especially the unemployed, to be engaged in any of these.

No able bodied person in the state should have any reason to be unemployed or engage in begging.

Council received report of the tattered look of pupils in the state’s public schools with dismay. Many pupils wear ill-fitting, old and dirty uniforms. This should not be so. School pupils are expected to wear neat, fitting and smart uniforms. This is failure on the part of the parents first.

Council enjoins parents to buy new uniforms for their children and ensure that they leave for school in the best physical shape in a way that inspires confidence in them and equally buoys their self confidence. Teachers are also required to take responsibility for the physical look of their wards.

Council directed that the Community Based Management Committees of public schools be visited and their effectiveness evaluated. Appropriate actions should be taken based on the outcome of this evaluation.

Council exhaustively deliberated on a proposed bill titled: ‘State of Osun Independent Electoral Commission Bill, 2017’.

This document has 86 chapters that cut across various issues relating to the conduct of local government elections in the state.

Council approved the document and directed that it be presented to the State House of Assembly as Executive Bill to be passed into law.
