The Osun State House of Assembly has approved a bill that changes the name of the state back to “Osun State” from the previous “State of Osun.”
The bill, called the “Osun State Anthem, Crest and Flag Amendment Bill 2023,” received positive feedback from the Assembly and was passed during Monday’s session.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Adewale Egbedun, announced that the bill would be sent to the Governor for approval.
” Once the Governor gives his consent, the new bill will replace the previous “Osun Anthem, Crest and Flag Bill 2012.
” The revised bill not only restores the state’s name but also modifies the flag and crest to include the Nigerian flag and the Nigerian Coat of Arms.
“However, the State Anthem established by the old bill will remain unchanged under the new law and will be referred to as the Osun State Anthem.
Meanwhile, the assembly has requested the presence of Mr Lanre Adeleke, the Managing Director of Peculiar Ultimate Concerns, to answer questions regarding the ongoing reconstruction of the Osogbo-Iwo road.
