The Osun State House of Assembly, OSHA, has advanced the 2026 Appropriation Bill toward final passage, calling for stronger Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, mechanisms to ensure effective and efficient budget implementation.
Chairman, House Committee on Finance and Appropriation, Mr Olumide Fatunmise, made the call while presenting his committee’s report at a plenary session held at the Assembly Complex in Osogbo.
He stressed that robust oversight remains critical to achieving proper execution of the 2026 budget.
Mr Fatunmise explained that the proposed budget mirrors the priorities of Osun residents, with allocations to key sectors including education, infrastructure, health, agriculture, social welfare, and commerce.
Reacting to the report, lawmakers such as Prince Adeyemi Adewumi and Mr Abiola Awoyeye commended the committee for its diligence and the successful completion of the budget defence exercise.
In his remarks, the Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Prince Adewale Egbedun, praised the Chairman and members of the Finance and Appropriation Committee, alongside other Standing Committees, for their resilience and commitment throughout the budget review process.
He noted that their dedication played a major role in the success recorded.
The House thereafter resolved into the Committee of Supply for detailed consideration of the State Appropriation Bill, also known as the Money Bill.
Following the amendment of grey areas, the Deputy Majority Leader, Mr Adekunle Oladimeji, moved a motion for the adoption of the report, which Mr Olumide Fatunmise seconded.
