The Oyo State House of Assembly has passed 41 bills into law, processed 146 committee reports and 184 motions, and adopted more than 1,500 resolutions since the inauguration of the 10th Oyo Assembly in June 2023.
The Speaker, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, disclosed this on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, while receiving Governor Seyi Makinde, who presented the 2027 budget estimates before the legislature.
Ogundoyin said the figures reflected the Assembly’s commitment to effective lawmaking, legislative oversight, accountability and the promotion of policies aimed at improving the welfare and development of residents.
He also revealed that the House had organised 11 major public hearings and stakeholder engagements within the period to encourage public participation in the legislative process and ensure that proposed laws addressed the needs of the people.
Among the legislative proposals and issues considered by the Oyo Assembly were the Oyo State Real Properties Protection Bill, Presumptive Tax Bill, Consumer Protection Agency Bill, Oyo State Roads Fund Bill and Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Bill.
The Speaker identified the establishment of a Post-Legislative Scrutiny (PLS) Unit in January 2025 as one of the major institutional achievements of the 10th Assembly.
He said the development made the Oyo State House of Assembly the first state legislature in Nigeria to establish a dedicated unit for examining the implementation and effectiveness of existing laws.
According to him, the unit had scrutinised the Oyo State Open Rearing and Grazing Regulation Law, 2019, and the Oyo State Security Network Agency Law, 2020, with a view to identifying implementation challenges and recommending improvements.
Ogundoyin further disclosed that recommendations from the scrutiny of the grazing regulation law had informed the Open Rearing and Grazing Regulation (Amendment) Bill, which had passed second reading.
He added that the Assembly had commenced another post-legislative scrutiny exercise on the Oyo State Sexual and Gender-Based Response Agency and Referral Law.
On security, the Speaker said the legislature had organised a security summit that brought together relevant stakeholders to examine security challenges in the state and develop practical recommendations.
He maintained that the Assembly had also sustained its constitutional oversight responsibilities beyond the passage of annual budgets to promote transparency, accountability and prudent management of public resources.
Ogundoyin commended members of the House, the Clerk and legislative staff for their contributions to the achievements recorded since the inauguration of the 10th Assembly.
He said the legislature remained committed to working with the executive arm to advance the development of Oyo State, particularly through the consideration of the 2027 budget, which he described as the final budget cycle of Makinde’s administration.
The Speaker urged the governor to ensure that the proposed budget prioritised the completion of ongoing projects, sustained existing development programmes and addressed critical needs across the state.
He also appealed to Makinde to consider the welfare demands of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), Oyo State Chapter. The requests include an upward review of the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS) to 100 per cent, regularisation of ad-hoc staff appointments and the release of a bus earlier approved for the association.
Ogundoyin said addressing the requests would improve staff welfare, strengthen the legislature’s institutional capacity and promote industrial harmony.
He assured the governor that the Oyo Assembly would subject the 2027 budget estimates to the necessary legislative scrutiny, guided by the interests of the people of Oyo State.
