The speaker while commending the governor for the gesture, implored him to encourage other governors to give priority to the legislative arm of government in their respective states.

He said prioritising the welfare of legislative workers would enhance a stronger, more effective, and sustainable state legislative institution across the country.

Ogundoyin also requested for “a future increase in the 30 per cent negotiated CONLESS. “Our aspiration for Oyo State is to lead in the full implementation of CONLESS in Nigeria.

“We also request for the digitisation of assembly chamber and offices to enhance live plenaries,” he said.

The speaker reassured the people of Oyo State that the 10th State House of Assembly was committed to protecting the cordial relationship that exists between the Legislature and the Executive as well as the Judiciary.

He noted that such cordial relationship would make Oyo the pace-setter state in its real and true sense.
