Osun lawmaker sponsors four bills

Osun State House of Assembly has received four private member bills sponsored by one of its lawmakers, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, representing Obokun Constituency.

The bills are: Cattle Trading and Grazing Bill 2016; Forestry, Natural and Mineral Resources Development Agency (Establishment) Bill 2016; Mandatory Usage of Standardised Measure and Weight Bill 2016; and Special People’s Bill 2016.

At the plenary on Tuesday, Speaker Najeem Salaam informed members of the presentation of the bills and read their covering letters.

According to the letter, the Cattle Trading and Grazing Bill 2016 was a bill to make provision for the regulation and granting of permit for cattle trading and grazing and the establishment of control posts.

The bill, he said, when passed into law, would sanitise the business of cattle trading and grazing, prevent frequent clashes between cattle-rearers and farm owners, and bring in more revenue to the coffers.

The Forestry, Natural and Mineral Resources Development Agency bill, the speaker said, would help to protect forestry, natural and mineral resources, as well as make the sub-sector attractive to investors, hence, generate employment opportunity for the citizenry and increase revenue generation.

Salaam stressed that the Mandatory Usage of Standardised Measure and Weight Bill would reset the economy through promotion of equity and encourage stability and catalysed economic growth, boost confidence in trade and commerce in the state.
