The Osun State House of Assembly has ordered the immediate suspension of Sally Tibbot Consulting’s ongoing staff audit of employees on the payroll of the Osun State Government.
Olamide Tiamiyu, chief press secretary to the speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, revealed this in a statement he acquired in Osogbo on Monday.
The most recent disturbance to the audit was a confrontation between the consultant Sa’adat Bakrin-Ottun and Osun State University staff members last week Friday during the verification exercise.
Tiamiyu added that the MPs’ emergency meeting over the petitions filed against the consultant led to the decision to halt the audit.
He added that the Speaker had established an ad hoc committee to investigate the petition-related concerns and make the required recommendations.
The statement said, “The Osun State House of Assembly has asked Sally Tibbot Consulting, the consultant in charge of the staff audit of employees of the State Government, to halt the exercise till further notice.
“On Monday, following an emergency meeting with other honourable members to consider the petitions submitted against the consultant to the Osun State House of Assembly, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, informed the news media of the House’s directive.
The Speaker also established an ad hoc committee to investigate the petition’s problems and make the required suggestions.
The House of Assembly has therefore invited all pertinent parties to a meeting on Tuesday, August 22, at 10 a.m.
