Speaker, State of Osun House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Najeem Salaam has asserted that economic restructuring that would steer the country from import dependent regime to productive nation, where agriculture and petroleum net resources would be exported should be the blueprint of the nation's restructuring.
In his Independence Day message signed by his spokesman, Mr. Goke Butika, Speaker Salaam said it was obvious that the mantra of restructuring means different things to different people; depending on their affected interest, saying that it was rough edges in governance which were hindering deliveries as promised that led to renewed agitation.
He said that the attention given to non-oil sector like agriculture and taxation appears to have brought new thinking, but canvassed for strategies on manufacturing companies that could provide jobs for the unemployed.
Speaker Salaam stressed that if economic opportunities are created for the restless youths, if corruption is brought to a considerable low and justice is delivered on all spheres of influence, the nation would be better off.
Speaker Salaam eulogized people of Osun for their steadfast and support for Governor Rauf Aregbesola administration, noting that the rate at which the state got elevated in terms of development and provision of infrastructure in the last seven years has shown that the nation's independence is worth celebrating.
