Earlier while briefing the panel, the Executive Secretary, Osun State Council For Arts and Culture, Mr Samuel Adeniyi while assuring the panel of the Council's readiness to work assiduously to improve the IGR of the State, said the council is already in search of a piece of land for the building of the Cultural Center.
