The Chairman, Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria and Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr Adebo Ogundoyin, has reiterated the urgent need for predictable funding mechanisms and modern tools to enhance the capacity and performance of State Houses of Assembly across the country.
Mr Ogundoyin made this call in Abuja during his goodwill message at the Consultative/Validation Meeting on the Needs Assessment of State Houses of Assembly in Nigeria.
According to him, the institutional, operational, and structural challenges faced by State Legislatures can only be addressed through deliberate reform, capacity building, and improved access to modern legislative tools.
The Speaker said, for democracy to thrive and for legislatures to deliver on their constitutional mandates, they must be equipped with adequate resources, supported by robust frameworks, and shielded from financial uncertainties.
The conference chairman emphasized that state assemblies should not be treated as appendages of the Executive but as co-equal arms of government.
