The Osun State House of Assembly has said that the new Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Area Councils and Administrative Offices announced by Governor Rauf Aregbesola were exactly as approved by the house.
In a statement by the Chairman, House Committee on Information and Strategy, Honourable Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, the Assembly commended the governor for taken the bold step inspite the present economic situation.
It said that with the announcement of the council, the doubt over the possibility of the commitment of government to bring government closer to the people has been erased.
