Osun State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun has unfolded plans by the 8th Assembly to partner mobile telecommunication giant, Globacom, in fixing the dormant Assembly E-Library.
The speaker made this known on Thursday when he hosted the Executive members of the company led by Mr Kofoshi in his office.
Recall that shortly after his inauguration as the Speaker of the 8th Assembly, Rt. Hon. Egbedun had conducted a tour of the library to assess the state of the facilities.
The Speaker was however dissatisfied with the condition of the facilities in spite of the humongous amount that had gone into it in the past, promising to initiate interventions to resuscitate it in order to aid the work of the House and serve the public who visit the legislative house.
While addressing the visitor, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun said he desired a good E-Library for Osun Assembly that would serve as a research centre for the legislators, staff members and students in the state and beyond, impressing on the team from Globacom to partner the House in bringing the facility back to life.
Rt. Hon. Egbedun disclosed that Library was critical to his goal of digitalizing the Assembly, adding that Osun laws should be available and associable with the citizenry.
Responding , the Chief Enterprise Officer, Globacom Ltd, Mr Eric Uwoama said Globacom was ready to partner the institution to make the E-Library work effectively, commending the Speaker for his vision in running a tech-focused legislature.
The Deputy Speaker had, earlier, noted that students needed to be encouraged in doing research, hence, corroborated the position of the Speaker in bringing the Library back to life.
Other legislators present at the meeting were Hon. Olumide Fatunmise, Hon. Jeremiah Awoyeye, Hon. Abiola Waheed Ibrahim, Hon. Elisha Akinyemi Oderinwale and Hon. Kashope Abolarin.
On the entourage of Globacom lead team were Mr Bernard Mufeti, Enterprise Coordinator, Mr Niyi Odejobi, Zonal Head Enterprise Business, Mr Akeem Yusuf, South West Business Coordinator, Mrs Modupe Olubanjo, Head Public Relations, Mr Omotayo Seriki, Regional Head Communications and Adewale Adiatu, Regional Head, Enterprise Sales.
