I arrived at the Osun state house of assembly for a 21-day internship at a time the nation was rocked with scandals at the House of representatives at the National Assembly.

i should admit, my expectations were very low, you do not want to expect much from politicians, i said to myself, it is better that you set a low standard, so that you won't be dissapointed.

However, for 11 days, i have watched from the gallery, the robust debates and contributions from legislators at the ousn state house of assembly, i have been more than impressed.

Since inception of the current house of assembly on June 4 2007, the legislators have debated and passed into law 5 bills. This is at the rate of a bill a month, which is highly commendable.

To think that the house consist of 15 PDP members and 11 action congress members, then you will understand that this is not an ordinary feat.

speaking with the Majority Leader of the house yesterday, he believes that the experience of the speaker as a three-time legislator plays a large role in the effectivesness of the state parliament.

Just yesterday, the house of assembly passed into law, the more than 120 paes child right bill, after more than six weeks of deliberation.

Other bills that have been passed icnludes, the Osun state revenue generation bill, the Osun state emergency managment bill amongst several other.

The house sits 4 times in a week from Monday to thursday.

I want to use this opportunity to praise the osun state house of assembly and to also urge them not to rest on their oars in passing good legislation for the good people of osun state.
