Lagos State House of Assembly made history on Monday by swearing in its first female Speaker, Mojisola Meranda.
This follows the impeachment of the former Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, during a plenary session.
Obasa’s removal was due to allegations of abuse of office and gross misconduct.
Meranda, who represents the Apapa 1 state constituency, took her oath of office, pledging her commitment to the Constitution and her duties as Speaker. “I affirm that I will be faithful as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly; that I will perform my functions honestly to the best of my ability, faithfully, and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Meranda vowed.
