Osun State House of Assembly

The Osun State House of Assembly is the legislative arm of the government  of Osun State of Nigeria.[1][2][3] It is a unicameral legislature with 26 members elected from the 30 local government areas of the state known as state constituencies. In some places two local government areas are merged to form a single state constituency. This makes the number of legislators in the Osun State House of Assembly 26.[4][5]

The fundamental functions of the Assembly are to enact new laws, amend or repeal existing laws and oversight of the executive.[6][7] Members of the assembly are elected for a term of four years concurrent with federal legislators (Senate and House of Representatives). The state assembly convenes three times a week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) in the assembly complex within the state capital, Osogbo.

The current speaker of the 7th Osun State House of Assembly is Timothy Owoeye.[2]
