Osun lawmakers seek new framework for managing public parks

The Osun State House of Assembly has proposed a bill to establish a Park Management System in the state, Punch Nigeria reports. The proposed legislation is aimed at introducing a formal structure for the administration of parks. Its stated objectives include maintaining order within the parks, regulating revenue and preventing thuggery.

The source material does not provide details of the bill’s provisions, including the agency or body that would oversee the proposed system, how revenue would be collected or the penalties that would apply to violations. It also does not state whether the bill has received a first reading, whether public consultations are planned or when the Assembly expects lawmakers to consider it further. The proposal remains a legislative initiative at the stage described by the supplied report.

If enacted, the measure would provide the framework for managing park operations in Osun State. The information available, however, is limited to the bill’s broad purpose: improving order, overseeing revenue and prohibiting thuggery in parks.
