Abstract

Across the Globe, Legislative-Executive Relations play an important role in the administration of good governance through their responsiveness to develop their state in a way to improve the standard of living for the populace and to ensure the system of governance is controlled by them (populace). However, it appears that one of the major focuses of any state is to ensure that provision of social services is provided to the citizenry within the state through the approval and implementation of fiscal policies. These were with the view to understanding the nature of the relationship between the Legislature and the Executive in Nigeria. The study revealed that the Executive interfered in the legislative process which has a significant effect in terms of service delivery to the populace in Nigeria at large. This study, therefore, compared old and new regimes in Osun State. Data gathered were analyzed using descriptive and content analysis. The study revealed the ease of passage of Executive-sponsored bills by the Legislature, agreement levels for the old and new regimes were respectively 85.7% and 77%, while, in respect of the Executive approval of the budget of the House of Assembly with little or no crisis, agreement level for the old and new regimes were 85.7% and 92.3%, respectively, with no significant difference at 90.5%. The study concluded that there was no significant difference in the relationship under the regimes compared to Osun State.
