Members of the Osun State chapter of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) and other unions working in government hospitals have been commended by the Osun State Government for returning to work.

The Council, which sat on Wednesday 27th, said the calling off of the industrial action will further smoothen healthcare delivery in the state.

The commendation was contained in a statement by the Media Adviser to the Governor, Mr. Sola Fasure.

The Council saluted the NMA for what it described as the association’s “Sense of sacrifice” and urges them to rededicate themselves to public service and the promotion of the health of all the people.

In another development, the Council ratified the selection of Prince Femi Agunsoye from Agunsoye Ruling House as the Elegboro of Ijebu Jesa, in Oriade Local Government Area.

Prince Agunsoye’s ratification was said to have followed the laid down age-long norms of selection process.

The statement noted that Prince Agunsoye was selected among the five princes that contested to be Elegboro and received the unanimous votes of the kingmaker.

The Council subsequently affirmed the decision of the kingmakers, congratulated the Elegboro elect and wished him a peaceful, prosperous and successful reign.

It will be recalled that the Elegboro Stool became vacant on March 9, 2017 following the departure of the last Elegboro, Oba Felix Taiwo Aribisala Ajigiteri II.

The statement also disclosed that the Council received report that some criminal-minded individuals have embarked on destruction of public utilities in the state.

In particular, Council revealed that it is in possession of report that some people are vandalising street light cables thereby damaging street lights and other public utilities.

The statement noted: “Council received report that street light cables are being vandalised, plunging roads in parts of the state into darkness at night and undermining the constant efforts of the government at illuminating the streets.

“Council strongly condemns this act of sabotage. Council therefore urges law enforcement agencies, neighbourhood watch associations, traditional rulers and residents to be vigilant and watch out for the activities of vandals, protect public infrastructure and prevent further acts of vandalism of street lights.”

And in a bid to further soar the revenue of the state, Council equally considered the commercial purposes the Osogbo Township Sports Stadium can be put into.

Thus, a five-man committee was inaugurated to look into the commercial viability of the stadium.

The committee was therefore mandated to,  among other things,  determine the current status of the stadium; ascertaining what commercial uses the stadium is being put to currently; the revenue potentials of the stadium and if these are being realised and; finally, make recommendations on how best to optimise the revenue generation potentials of the stadium.
