Osun assembly introduces road safety, start-up bills to boost safety, economic growth
The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, has announced the introduction of two critical bills aimed at improving road safety and promoting entrepreneurship in the state.
This was disclosed in a statement shared on the lawmaker’s official X handle on Tuesday.
“Yesterday, during the plenary, we introduced two crucial bills: the Osun State Road and Vehicle Inspection Services Bill, 2024, and the Osun State Start-Up Bill, 2024,” the Speaker’s terse statement partly said.
According to Egbedun, the Osun State Road and Vehicle Inspection Services Bill is designed to improve vehicle inspection standards across the state, thereby reducing accidents and enhancing safety on Osun roads.
“The Road and Vehicle Inspection Services Bill aims to enhance vehicle inspection protocols, ensuring safer roads for all,” he added.
Equally significant is the Osun State Start-Up Bill, which targets the creation of an enabling environment for young entrepreneurs and innovative ventures in the state.
The legislation seeks to boost the local economy by fostering a vibrant start-up ecosystem.
“The Start-Up Bill is set to create a vibrant ecosystem for new businesses, driving innovation and job creation in Osun. As we move beyond the second reading of these bills, I encourage everyone to engage with us.
“Together, we can build a safer and more prosperous Osun!” Egbedun concluded.
