The Osun State House of Assembly has passed a bill amending key provisions of the state’s local government law.
The legislation, titled Osun State Local Government Amendment No. 2 Bill 2026, scaled third reading on the floor of the House and was subsequently adopted.
Speaker of the Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, announced that clean copies of the bill would be transmitted to Governor Ademola Adeleke for assent.
In a related development, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, addressed concerns surrounding the ongoing payroll audit conducted by Sally Tibbot Consulting Limited.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television, Rasheed maintained that the payroll structure under review was inherited from the administration of former governor Gboyega Oyetola.
He stated that any irregularities uncovered in the audit process should be traced to the previous government, insisting that the current administration is committed to transparency and accountability.
Meanwhile, the Osun State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party described the controversies trailing the staff audit as regrettable.
The party noted that the situation has generated avoidable tension and called for a more coordinated approach to resolving the issues.
