Osun State House of Assembly has urged Governor Rauf Aregbesola to reduce wasteful spending so as to focus on things that will improve the social benefit of the people.
The Speaker, Mr. Najeem Salaam said this while reading the lawmakers’ resolution after reviewing the journey of the state after its 24th anniversary of its creation.
Salaam urged the state government to “improve on its internal revenue without unnecessarily increasing the burden on the masses to address the present fiscal imbalance and meet up with its vision.”
He added that “The waste of government must be reduced to a minimal level, so that we will focus on things that would improve the social benefit for our people.
“Political functionaries and technocrats must be called upon to look into this and be ready to develop the state together. It is a collective responsibility that we must all join hands to achieve.
“Also, the attitude of our workforce and the orientation has to be changed. The rate of partisanship of workers has become a thing of worry.
“The ethic of civil service that they should not be partisan seems to have faded out. Workers now express their feeling on pages of newspapers and radio, just like members of political parties.”
