RESTORATION OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE IN OSUN STATE

By
The Speaker,
Osun State House of Assembly,
House of Assembly Complex,
Oke Pupa, Osogbo,
Osun State.

Dear Sir,

REQUEST FOR THE IMMEDIATE RESTORATION OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE AT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL IN OSUN STATE

Centre for Sustained Dialogue is a network of over fifty non-governmental organizations that is working on good governance, maintenance of rule of law, electoral processes and democratic consolidation for the over-all development of the society both in impact and measurement.

It is therefore in reference to the above stated mission statement that we present this petition to you for your immediate motion, action and proclamation on the continue absence of democratic, accountable and sovereign governance at the local government level in Osun State. 

Local government as it is presently constituted in Osun State has lost touch, direction and connection with the people because of the way, manner and style it is been run since 56 months ago. It is a fact undisputed that out of the six states in south western part of Nigeria, it is only Osun State that has not conducted any election to the local government since 2011 as clearly stated by the constitution.

To crown this illegality all, for the past 16 months, the governor self-selected local government executive secretaries were not re-nominated to the State House of Assembly for tenure renewal after the expiration of their previous 6 months renewable tenure as clearly stated in the Local Government Administration Law which your honourable house passed in 2011. To make the matter worse, The House under your leadership did not see anything absurd and unlawful in this unilateral act of Mr. Governor.

Nothing is more ironic, complex and treacherous than this act of a government that was pronounced as duty elected through the instrumentality of law five years ago that is now setting aside a well defined law on the administration of local government both in management and supervision.

We considered this action of Mr. Governor and lack of checks and balance by the House of Assembly on the action of Mr. Governor on the above matter as deliberate collective conspiracy against the good people of Osun State, flagrant disregard to the carefully conceptualized operations of different tiers of government and excessive abuse of power.

In view of the foregoing, we challenge your respected office and sovereign House of Assembly to prove us wrong by making immediate, official and far-reaching proclamation on the way and manner by which third tier of government is been governed

It is our hope that your good office will give this petition utmost attention and consideration it rightly deserved.

Be assured of our highest regards and unshaken commitment.

Yours Sincerely,

Engr. Omotosho Akeem
Director.

AKWA IBOM CHILD RIGHTS LAW

By
The Akwa Ibom State Child Rights Law The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Godswill Akpabio, on 5th December, 2008 signed the child rights act into law to protect the growth of perceptual, emotional, intellectual, and behavioural capabilities and functioning during childhood of Akwa Ibom children under 16 years. The law protects the Akwa Ibom child from birth to adolescence and up to 16 years such that the child is afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community. Child development becomes notable from the emergence of speech at one to two years of age. 2 to 7 years is early childhood where the child uses symbolic thought and language to manipulate their environment. 7 to 12 is late childhood and marks the beginnings of logic, involving the classification of ideas and an understanding of time and number. 12 up forms development of empathy, the ability to appreciate the feelings and perspectives of others.
