The Ogun State House of Assembly has passed the State Power Sector Law 2024, aimed at improving electricity generation, transmission, and distribution within the state. This move addresses the energy consumption challenges faced by residents and business owners.
According to the Deputy Speaker, Bolanle Ajayi, “The passage of this bill is a significant step towards addressing the energy needs of our people and businesses.”
The bill was passed after a thorough review by the Committee of Whole, chaired by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide. The Majority Leader, Yusuf Sheriff, moved the motion for the third reading, seconded by Hon. Adeleye, and supported by the Whole House through a unanimous voice vote.
Speaker Elemide directed that the clean copy of the bill be transmitted to Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun for his assent.
In another development, the Assembly considered a petition from Ifedapo CDA on behalf of Olorungbemileke CDA regarding a land dispute with Phillip Otegbeye Family in Ilaro. The Committee on Lands and Housing, chaired by Damilola Soneye, recommended:
“All occupants within Philip Otegbeye family land should pay a sum of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N350,000.00) as ratification fee on a plot of land, including developed and undeveloped land, to the family of Philip Otegbeye as agreed by both parties.”
This recommendation follows an intervention by Olu of Ilaro, His Royal Highness, Oba Kehinde Gbadewole Olugbenle, the Paramount Ruler of Yewa land.
