In a recent development, the Osun State House of Assembly has repealed the Osun State Anthem, Crest, and Flag Law of 2012. The decision was made during a plenary session on Tuesday and was in compliance with a Federal High Court judgment issued on December 14, 2017.
Speaking on behalf of the Assembly, the Speaker, Adewale Egbedun, highlighted that the repeal was necessary to align with the court’s ruling. However, recognizing that certain aspects of the law may still hold value, the House agreed to incorporate necessary corrections into the new legislation known as the Osun State Anthem, Crest, and Flag Bill 2023. The bill has been sponsored by the Majority Leader.
