He assured that the legislature would give the needed support in realising the vision of the state Governor in the information sector, stressing that information dissemination was germaine to any vibrant democracy.

The State Commissioner for Information and Communication Alh. Mahmud Babatunde Ajeigbe expressed confidence that his Ministry would achieve its N115m revenue target, if the required logistics and infrastructure were provided for his Ministry and its agencies by the state government.

The Sole Administrator of the Media Houses and Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Communication, Dr. Muideen Akorede had enumerated the efforts of the State Government towards repositioning the media house for effective performance.

Other members who spoke, praised the ingenuity of the Sole Administrator towards ensuring that the owned media houses measured up to required standard. Meanwhile, the house says it will ensure that the construction of road leading to Owu fall in Owa Kajola was accommodated in this year's budget to enable the state realised its tourism potentials.

This followed the presentation by the Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Culture and Tourism Dr. Rhoda Ajiboye that the State was endowed with enough tourism potentials to make the self sustaining, but were yet to be tapped, due to lack of basic infrastructure and required logistics in the affected sites.
