THE NEWS YOU NEED

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has announced the immediate lifting of suspension on forestry consultants and permits across the state.

The State Governor had in early December directed a suspension and review of some permits including, plantation or forest reserve concession allocation permit; sawmill permit and renewal; flinch sawn evacuation permit; timber and logs permit; hammering permit or release permit; motor-saw permit; forest reserve access permit and Tungya farming system allocation permit.

According to a statement by Governor’s Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke in a fresh directive noted that the lifting of the suspension was sequel to an ongoing review of the state’s internal revenue service.

Governor Adeleke, however, warned the forestry operators and permit holders to play according to the rule and ensure transparency in their day to day activities.

“Any forestry operator who violates operational regulations will be summarily removed from the field”, Governor Adeleke directed.
