In a bid to boost efficiency and ensure optimal productivity, the Oyo State House of Assembly, under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Edward Adebo Ogundoyin, has announced a major leadership reshuffle within its 10th Assembly Standing Committees. The most notable change comes from the Security Committee, where Hon. Dawood Olalere, popularly known as D’ Al AMeen, representing Ibadan North West, has been replaced as Chairman. This decision marks a strategic move to fortify the Assembly’s focus on security matters, a key issue in Oyo State.
Taking over the mantle is Hon. Rasak Adekunle Mabaje, who previously served as the Vice Chairman of the Security Committee. Hon. Mabaje, representing the Ido State Constituency, will now steer the committee as its Chairman. His elevation to this crucial role is expected to bring a new wave of leadership aimed at addressing the pressing security challenges facing Oyo State. The decision to promote Mabaje is seen as a calculated step towards leveraging his legislative experience and commitment to public safety in his constituency.
The reshuffle comes at a critical time when security is a primary concern in the state, with residents and lawmakers alike calling for improved safety measures. By appointing Mabaje, the House leadership is signaling its commitment to strengthening its oversight on security matters and ensuring that the committee functions with renewed vigor. This change reflects a broader plan by the Oyo State Assembly to enhance the effectiveness of its committees, with the ultimate goal of ensuring a safer and more secure environment for all residents.
