Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has presented official vehicles to senior staff members in the Assembly’s directorship cadre.
This initiative, announced on the Lagos State Government’s official Facebook page on Friday, marks a continuation of recent efforts to support and incentivize Assembly personnel.
According to the statement, this is the second consecutive vehicle presentation, following an earlier handover of cars to senior staff just weeks prior.
The move underscores the Assembly’s commitment to boosting productivity and enhancing service delivery for both the legislative body and the state.
The latest beneficiaries include directors and deputy directors from various departments and units within the Assembly.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony held at the Assembly complex, Obasa described the occasion as a significant step toward fostering effectiveness, promoting hard work, and providing a supportive work environment for Assembly staff.
Obasa further highlighted that the Lagos State House of Assembly has become a benchmark for legislative excellence, crediting this achievement to the dedication and outcome-driven focus of its staff and management team.
“As a result of this, it is just necessary to boost this efficiency and keep the Assembly up there as the perfect example of legislative effectiveness that it has become in our democratic Nigeria.
“We cannot falter or step down from the successes we have achieved so far. The Lagos State House of Assembly has created that pathway in this democracy for the smooth running of the society.
“We want to continue to have a House of Assembly that does not only have a conducive environment but with staff who are always eager to meet the needs of Lagosians through inputs in pro-people legislation for which the House is poised.
“It is pleasing to say that the vehicles would help the beneficiaries meet official needs and tasks and enhance our collective goals of making Lagos better each day,” he said.
The Clerk of the House, Olalekan Onafeko, praised the Assembly’s leadership under Speaker Obasa for its welfare-focused and progressive approach.
Onafeko, who also serves as Head of Service for the Assembly, noted that the provision of the vehicle would boost productivity while fostering passion and dedication among the staff.
