Osun Assembly passes Multi-Door Court, Traffic Regulation Bills
Osun State House of Assembly has passed two key bills: the Multi-Door Courthouse Establishment Bill and the Osun State Road Traffic Law and Vehicle Inspection Service Bill, 2025.
The passage followed Monday’s plenary session at the Assembly complex in Osogbo, where both bills were read for the third time before being approved.
The Multi-Door Courthouse Establishment Bill, which seeks to promote alternative dispute resolution, had been under consideration by lawmakers for about a year.
A statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Olamide Tiamiyu, described the legislation as “a landmark move aimed at reforming the judicial system in the state.”
According to the statement, the bill, sponsored by a member, Femi Popoola, “will assist in the implementation of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, thereby reducing the burden on courts and ensuring more timely and effective justice delivery.”
Presenting the bill’s key policy objectives, Popoola explained that it was designed to “provide diverse options for dispute resolution, including mediation, arbitration, and conciliation.”
Announcing the passage of the bills, Tiamiyu confirmed that both pieces of legislation scaled through after their third reading at the plenary.
“The legislation is aimed at providing multiple channels for case settlement, thereby reducing congestion in the courts and correctional facilities across the state,” Tiamiyu said.
He further explained that the Osun State Road Traffic Law and Vehicle Inspection Service Bill, 2025, was an executive bill intended to “ensure the inspection, control, and enforcement of roadworthiness standards for vehicles, motorcycles, tricycles, trucks, and trailers within the state.”
Tiamiyu added, “The legislation also mandates collaboration with relevant agencies to enhance road safety and compliance.”
Addressing the House after the bills’ passage, Speaker Adewale Egbedun commended members for their “commitment to the welfare of the people and the overall development of the state.”
Egbedun confirmed that clean copies of both bills would be forwarded to Governor Ademola Adeleke for assent.
