Gov Adeleke appoints new auditor-general, to be confirmed by Osun parliament
Governor Ademola Adeleke has sent a letter to the state House of Assembly seeking confirmation of Isiaq Awotunde as the new auditor-general for local government.
Speaker of the assembly, Adewale Egbedun, disclosed this while reading the letter at the plenary on Tuesday in Osogbo.
Mr Egbedun said the appointment of the new auditor-general was sequel to the impending retirement of the incumbent, Emmanuel Kolapo.
He directed Mr Awotunde to submit copies of his curriculum vitae and other relevant certificates to the assembly on or before May 2 and appear for screening on May 7.
In another development, the speaker introduced and read a private member-sponsored bill entitled ‘Public Political Office Holders Enumeration Package 2024’.
The bill, according to him, seeks to improve the welfare and conditions of political office holders in the state and ease hardship generally for public office holders.
The lawmakers also adopted the report of the House Committee on Youth Sports and Special Needs on ‘Discrimination against People Living with Disabilities 2024’.
The report was presented by Jeremiah Awoyeye, the chairman of the committee representing the Ife Central state constituency.
