The governor’s decision conveyed through a memo signed on June 14, 2024, cites the powers vested in him by Section 19 (Cap 28) Law of Oyo State 2000 as amended.
According to a statement issued by the governor’s spokesman, Sulaimon Olanrewaju, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Olusegun Olayiwola, confirmed the approval.
