The Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly and Chairman, the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures, Mr. Adebo Ogundoyin has joined other Speakers in the Southwest for an interactive session with representatives of the United States of America in Nigeria.

The interactive session which was attended by the US Consul General, Will Stevens and the Charge d’Affaires, David Greene centred on the roles of Legislatures in stimulating Nigeria’s economy as well as ways of promoting foreign investments in the Southwest geopolitical zone.

The session held at Ikogosi Warm Spring Resort, Ekiti State also had in attendance the Ekiti State Speaker, Mr Adeoye Aribasoye who doubles as SouthWest Chairman of the Conference, Osun State Speaker, Mr. Adewale Egbedun and their Ondo State counterpart, Mr. Olamide Oladiji.

Our correspondent reports that The US Consul General, Mr. Will Stevens harped on the need for State lawmakers to make good laws that will encourage investments and stimulate the economy.

According to Mr Stevens, the Southwest geopolitical zone has a lot of socioeconomic and agricultural potential which would-be-investors can put their money into.

“As lawmakers, you need to make good legislation that will enhance ease of doing business, and provide the enabling environment for business to thrive. This may call for repelling or reviewing some of the existing ones”

Earlier, the Chairman, the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures, Mr Adebo Ogundoyin gave assurance of the readiness of the State Legislatures across the country to make laws that will be efficient, transparent and easy to implement so that investments can thrive.

He said the leadership of the Conference will continue to set an agenda for all State legislatures towards strengthening democracy and improving the legislative institution.

“I would like to assure you that the ideas and experiences garnered at the interactive session will be transmitted to all the State Houses of Assembly,” Ogundoyin said
