Osun governor lifts suspension on forestry consultants, permits
The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has announced the immediate lifting of suspension on forestry consultants and permits across the state.
Recall that in December 2022, Adeleke directed the suspension and review of plantation or forest reserve concession allocation permits, sawmill, flinch-sawn evacuation, timber and logs, hammering or release, motor-saw, forest reserve access and Tungya farming system allocation permits.
In a fresh directive on Tuesday, disclosed by Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson to the Governor, Adeleke noted that the lifting of the suspension was sequel to an ongoing review of the state’s internal revenue service.
He, however, warned the forestry operators and permit holders to play according to the rule and ensure transparency in their day to day activities.
In his words, “Any forestry operator who violates operational regulations will be summarily removed from the field.
