The Speaker of the Osun state House of Assembly, Rt (Hon) Timothy Owoeye, on Tuesday admonished the state House Assembly lawmakers to take advantage of the organised legislative retreat (for the state lawmakers) to broaden and sharpen their legislative skills
Mr Owoeye made this call at the start of the three days legislative retreat organised for the state lawmakers, at the Royal Park Hotel , Ilesha – Osun state.
The speaker, during his opening remark urged the lawmakers not to see the retreat as tea party but opportunity to enhance their legislative skills because the people look up to to them for direction.
As it was reported earlier by the Nigeria Assembly News, The current assembly is dominated by first timer with little or no legislative experience. The retreat, is believe to enhance and awake the legislators to their constitutional power , responsibility and limitations.
