Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly are seen during plenary
The Lagos State House of Assembly has resumed plenary, almost a month after Mudashiru Obasa, was removed as the Speaker of the House.
The embattled former speaker, who was impeached over issues of alleged financial misconduct, and abuse of office was absent at the plenary.
But about 36 lawmakers were present.
The member representing Epe Constituency I Abiodun Tobun commended the economic policy of the Federal Government, saying insecurity in Lagos has been curbed to the barest minimum.
Tobun also moved a motion, asking the House to write a letter of commendation to the presidency for all the impactful initiative introduced by the Federal Government.
On his part, the lawmaker representing Eti-Osa constituency II, Gbolahan Yishawu, also reeled out various initiatives introduced by the Federal Government, alongside other lawmakers.
Speaker of the House, Mojisola Meranda, joined in applauding President Bola Tinubu, expressing confidence in his leadership.
According to her, the President has approved loan access for small-scale businesses, and the stock market capitalisation is growing. She noted that these were signs that Nigeria is on the right track.
She noted that President Tinubu is also making significant investments in security to ensure the safety of Nigerians and also praised First Lady Remi Tinubu for her dedication to national development.
Meanwhile, the leadership crisis rocking the Assembly appears to have been sorted or rested because issues surrounding the former speaker were not raised on the floor of the House. (Channels TV)
