Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the State of Osun on Thursday inaugurated chairmen and members of the Rent Tribunal in the nine Federal Constituencies of the State with a charge on them to discharge their functions with highest level of responsibility, integrity, competence and trust.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony which held at the State Secretariat, Abere, Osogbo, Governor Oyetola said the Rent Tribunal was constituted in view of the need to enhance communal peace and dispensation of justice in landlord/tenant related disputes.
The governor, therefore, urged the chairmen and members of the Tribunal to ensure that justice is done in all cases in the interest of peace. He asked them to see their appointments as an opportunity to serve the people and add value to the State.
Similarly, Oyetola implored landlords and tenants in the State to engage in mutual respect and honour the tenets of their contract, resolve misunderstandings amicably and live together in peace. He added that in the few cases where amicable settlement is not achievable, aggrieved parties should approach the Rent Tribunals and avoid self-help.
