The Osun State House of Assembly has directed appropriate agencies to provide the Assembly the updated details of the state’s debts and financial profile.

The Assembly equally called on business owners and investors not to be alarmed by the state debts profile declared by Governor Ademola Adeleke on Thursday.

Adeleke had declared that his administration discovered a debt of N407.32 billion left behind by the immediate past governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola.

He made this known at a meeting with the traditional rulers in the state.

However, the Osun Assembly, in a statement issued on Friday by the Chairman of the Commitee on Information and Publicity, Kunle Akande, said: “The Assembly expresses concern over the reactions trailing yesterday’s debts profile declaration by the governor of the state, Sen. Ademola Adeleke.
