Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke will submit the proposal for the 2024 Budget to the state house of assembly today by 10am.
The Osun State chapter of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) subsequently suspended its ongoing strike for one day to enable the Governor present the budget to the state House of Assembly.
Adekunle Akeem, the chairman of PASAN, announced the suspension of the strike at the Osun Assembly Complex, Osogbo, on Wednesday after meeting with the Speaker, Adewale Egbedun.
Akeem told journalists that the association had agreed to suspend the strike on Thursday to allow the governor to present the 2024 budget.
He said the strike would, however, continue on Friday until the Assembly’s financial autonomy is granted.
“The strike is still on, but for tomorrow, Thursday, it would be temporarily suspended in the interest and development of the state. The governor is coming tomorrow to present the budget to the Assembly, so pending the time of his presentation, the strike will be temporarily suspended,” he said.
OsunTv gathered that Governor Ademola Adeleke had earlier written the House Speaker, Hon Adewale Egbedun on the proposed submission as statutorily stipulated by extant laws.
The Governor is to be accompanied by members of the State Executive Council and the leadership of the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).
