All cabinet members must get their act together by ensuring a successful budget hearings at the assembly.”Let the relevant house committees have all required information to vet and approve your proposals. I have full confidence that the legislature will understand the fiscal and economic considerations behind the 2024 budgetary proposals.”I am also aware of new innovative ideas we are introducing that may necessitate new laws or amendment of existing ones. Let me on this note direct our MDAs with planned executive bills to speed up the internal processes. “Three of such bills are very dear to the goodness of our state. The bill to domesticate the Nigerian Startup Act should be forwarded to the assembly without further delay. That bill holds the key to boosting and diversifying our state economy.”The Osun State electricity market bill is also important to us. At the Governor’s Forum, a resolution was particularly reached on this matter. We have to move faster to get the bill passed into law without delay. “Of similar importance is the bill to harmonise the state tax system.
