Osogbo—The Chief Judge of Osun state, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo, yesterday granted a mandamus order compelling the state Governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, to provide information about the debt profile of the state and repayment modality.

The order was sought by a human right lawyer, Mr Kanmi Ajibola, pursuant to Order 40, Rule 3 of the High court with 30 paragraphs affidavit in support of motion ex-parte.

Ajibola urged the court to compel Aregbesola to provide the lists of all capital projects being executed by his government since November 26, 2011.

The applicant sought an order compelling the Governor to provide information about the financial cost of all the capital projects executed by him.

He urged the court to compel the Governor to provide evidence of the lodgment of the deductions from the salaries of the Osun State Civil Servants, being their contributions to the Pension Scheme into the Retirement Savings Account.

The human rights lawyer also sought an order of the court compelling Governor Aregbesola to provide evidence of the lodgement of the Contributory Pension Scheme into the Contributory Retirement Savings.
