The Osun State House of Assembly has commenced consideration of the Osun State Multi-Door Court Establishment Bill, 2024, which seeks to provide opportunities for alternative dispute resolution.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of the Assembly, Olamide Tiamiyu, described the bill as “a landmark move aimed at reforming the state’s judicial system.”

Providing further insight into the bill sponsored by lawmaker Mr. Femi Popoola, the statement explains that when passed, it would assist in the implementation of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, thereby reducing the burden on courts and enhancing more timely and effective justice delivery for the people.

His position was supported by fellow assembly members, who recognised the bill’s capacity to empower individuals to select the most suitable method for their unique circumstances.
