The Osun State House of Assembly has said that it would give priority to its oversight function by strengthening its monitoring mechanisms in 2016.

It said this became was necessary to ensure that the state government increases its internally generated revenue and judiciously use the same for the completion of all ongoing projects and execution of new ones.

The Chairman, House Committee on Information and Strategy, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye in a chat with journalists , said what the state needs at this critical period of the economic downturn was to strengthen monitoring mechanisms, especially for the completion of ongoing projects and pending programmes in line with the policy of the state government.

“The situation in Osun in this critical period requires that all stakeholders play their role through the blockage of waste and the improvement of internally generated revenue.

“If you look at the 2016 budget before the House, it is essentially revenue-driven and the Speaker, Honorable Najeem Salaam has stresses  it on Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government to develop ways to generate more revenue without imposing an unnecessary burden on the people”, he said.
