Government of the State of Osun has on Tuesday raised alarm over the circulation of poisonous food and drugs in the state.
 

A statement issued in Osogbo on Tuesday by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, cautioned residents against the consumption of certain products, which he said can be fatal when consumed.
He disclosed that security report had itemised the products as including: Phi-am smoked mackrel, Purtan’s pride Premium Folic Acid Tablet, and Halcarfiofi Friareli.
He explained that some food and drug agencies around the world had alerted that the products, apart from being fatal source of food poisoning, were also substandard and a serious danger to human life.
Adeoti, therefore, enjoined the residents to beware of the items, and urged security agencies to block the importation of the injurious products into the country. (NAN)

The Government of the State of Osun is one of the three lucky States from the South-West Zone of Nigeria to benefit from Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), Eco-Tourism and Zoological Project which favours the boundaries of Ogun, Ondo and Osun respectively.
 

 
The Eco-Tourism and Zoological gesture of the NCF will fetch each of the benefiting States Ogun, Ondo and Osun, a whopping sum of 250 Million Dollars yearly.
This was disclosed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Forestry, Natural and Mineral Resources, Hon. Tunde Ajilore who led the Shasha Forest Reserve White Paper Implementation Committee members to Area 5 axis of Shasha Forest Reserve with the aim of establishing the boundary of the reserve land, Illegal encroachment
on the land as well as sensitising all illegal farmers and other illegal occupants to see the need to vacate the area.
Hon. Ajilore further disclosed that it’s rather unfortunate that Ondo and Ogun States had signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the NCF, while illegal encroachment and unauthorized farming activities on Shasha forest reserve is the only impediment delaying the State of Osun in the signing of the MOU.
He therefore appealed to all affected farmers and other illegal occupants including farmers on 30square miles of the Shasha forest reserve to see their vacation from the land as a sacrifice for the common good of the people of Osun.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor also warned that bush burning, farming, hunting of animals and cutting of under girth timber by licensed timber contractors within the Forest Reserve should stop with immediate effect and anybody caught will be tried according to the Forest law.

The Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has said that those clamouring for the autonomy of the local government in the country should remember that it remains an aberration that negates the principle of federalism. Aregbesola also said that the 16 years of intensive internecine war among the different groups within the Yoruba enclave was a resistance against one group lording it over the other and a direct effort at instituting and preserving federalism. He insisted that local governments are under absolute control and ambience of states and that the only organ of the state empowered by the constitution to make laws for them is the state House of Assembly.

Governor Aregbesola made these statements while declaring open the 2017 NULGE Week at the Public Lecture organised by the Osun State Chapter of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), held at the Aurora Conference Centre, Osogbo. This war, according to the Governor, was instructive to the extent Yoruba people wanted autonomy which federalism guarantees such that one group would not lord it over the other in the administrative system. The governor averred that the current campaign for the autonomy of local government is capable of destroying federalism and by extension the country at large.
The Governor described the belief gaining grounds that local governments should be independent of state governments as totally strange and anti-federalism. He noted that there are only two tiers of government in a federal system of government, namely the federal government and the government at the federating level. Aregbesola stressed that it is awkward for Nigeria to be the only federation in the world where there is only one police system, noting that it is strange for the federal government and the constitution not to allow for police in the federating units of the country. The governor held that the problems with local government administration in the country can be corrected within the laws of the states. According to him, “Nigeria is not just a republic, but a Federal Republic. A federal state is where every distinction of nationality is recognised, respected and honoured. None of the units of the federation is therefore superior to the other. Every of the units are empowered by law to administer themselves under the general guideline of the constitution. “Few things are awkward about federalism in Nigeria. Nigeria’s federation is strange to the extent that only one police force maintains law and order. In other federations, there will be a Federal Police force and other federating unit police. Nigerian nationality and people must seek to correct this abnormality. “Another anomaly that people, because of their frustration to some aspect of administration, are equally making mistake on and need correction is that a federation has two tiers of government. There cannot be three tiers in a federation. The moment you have three tiers, you no longer have a federation.” Aregbesola emphasised that the problem with the administration of local government can be corrected within the limits of the laws of the state in a federation. He noted that it is not by assaulting the fundamental principle of federalism that the challenges and weakness being faced by the administration of local governments can be corrected. In his speech, the President of Nigerian Union of Local Government Employee, Osun Chapter, Comrade Deji Adeyeye, commended Governor Rauf Aregbesola for prioritising workers welfare in the state. Adeyeye state that gone are the days that workers in the state were paid once in every three months or sometime once in four months. He acknowledged that the current recession is not peculiar to Osun but almost all the states of the federation. The NULGE boss stated that labour unions in the state are holding the Governor to his words over backlog of salaries of workers above Grade Level 8, who are being owed between 20 and 25 percent of their salaries. According to him, “Once upon a time, workers in the state were paid once in three months or once in four months but our own governor ensured that we moved out of this terrible situation. “Grade Levels 1 to 7 have always been receiving full salary while Grade Level 8 and above were placed on constant half salary. “Not too long after, Grade Levels 8 to and 10 were paid 75 percent of their salaries while staff on Grade Levels 12 and above maintain a consistent half salary. “It is noteworthy that each time we meet with the governor over the backlog of salaries of staff on Grade Levels 8 and above, we have always receive a positive response. “Aregbesola has given is words on several occasion that as soon as fund is available the backlog would be cleared.” National President of the NULGE, Comrade Ibrahim Khaleel, said reports of Governor Aregbesola available to him indicate that the Governor is a workers-friendly governor just as he commended the governor for his commitment to the good governance.

The Governor of Osun , Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola on Monday appeared before a High Court in the State in defence of a case filed against him over his refusal to constitute State executive council.
 

 
Since taking over as the state governor in November 2014 Aregbesola has not appointed his commissioners.
He is said to be running the state affairs as a sole administrator.

Barrister Kanmi Ajibola, who dragged him before the court, insisted that Aregbesola was not only a sole administrator but was ruling the state despotically in a way not envisaged by the constitution of Nigeria.
Aregbesola, in a counter affidavit deposed to by Barrister Ibikunle Iyanda from the Chambers of Adewale Afolabi filed in opposition to the originating summons of the plaintiff, said that the governor had been discharging his duties in line with the constitution in the last two years effectively.
He said that there were permanent secretaries and heads of the parastatals manning various ministries in the state.

Iyanda explained further that he was briefed by the governor’s Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff, Gbenga Akanno that the “the defendant is still within the time frame to appoint commissioners to form his cabinet.”
Iyanda said the governor had not erred in law because the 1999 constitution “does not state the time frame for the appointment of commissioners.”
While arguing that Aregbesola will constitute his executive council before the expiration of his tenure next year, the layer stated further that at no time did the governor after his swearing-in in 2014 said he would not choose members of the state executive council.
Aregbesola prayed the court to quash the case, saying the plaintiff did not show any interest, right or obligation in the matters he was complaining of in his suit.

But the plaintiff, Ajibola noted that as a legal practitioner, political and human rights activist and one of the people who fought for the enthronement of democracy, he had the responsibility of upholding, promoting, fostering and observing the rule of law.
According to him, the governor has turned “democratic governance” in Osun state to “administratorship” and that the governor has “applied the operation of the constitution with disdain in contravention of his oath of office.”
“Since 27th day of November 2014 to date, the governor of Osun State has been determining the general direction of the policies without the advice of the state executive council contrary to the constitution”, he said.
Backing his arguments with several constitutional provisions, Ajebola stated that he has the locus standi to challenge the governor since “it is a constitutional matter” and that the court has jurisdiction to hear and determine the suit.”
