Gov Seyi Makinde to embark on annual leave August 5th

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has informed the Oyo House of Assembly of his intention to embark on his annual leave.

The governor’s letter was read on the floor of the parliament by Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin during Thursday’s valedictory plenary held in honor of Yetunde Awe, the clerk.

In his message, Governor Makinde also indicated his desire to transfer executive powers to Deputy Governor Bayo Lawal, who will serve in an acting capacity during his absence. Makinde’s leave will begin on August 5 and end on September 6.

“Based on Section 190 sub-section 1, I hereby transmit that during the period indicated above, Deputy Governor Lawal shall be the acting governor. I shall be back from the vacation on September 7,” Mr Makinde said in the letter.

Similarly, the parliament also swore in Taiwo Muraina-Akinola, formerly the deputy clerk, as the substantive clerk of the house to replace Ms Awe, who was retiring from the state civil service.

Ms Muraina-Akinola’s swearing-in followed her recommendation by the House of Assembly Commission.
