‘Let’s Make 2022 A Better Year’ – Obasa

The speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has appealed to residents of the state to enter the year with renewed hope for 2022.

The lawmaker gave the advice while sharing his new year message with Nigerians, Naija News reports.

He maintained that the new year holds a lot of challenges and Nigerians have to come together to make sure things go smoothly.

He said: “While I congratulate Nigerians, I dare say that together, we can make a better country happen just like we are making good things happen in Lagos, the economic centre of Nigeria. Today, no doubt, Lagos is one of the most peaceful states of the federation despite its population and factors that make it a mega-city.

“The successes recorded by Lagos State in 2021 happened because of the cordial relationship between the arms of government, the determination of the government to scale whatever hurdles it had before it as well as the support and cooperation from residents.

“At the Lagos Assembly, we ensured that our activities, bills, motions and resolutions had to do with the happiness of the residents, their safety, and the protection of lives and property as enshrined in the constitution.

“Just days ago, we passed the 2022 budget to enable the government hit the New Year running. We also passed the bill establishing the Lagos State University of Education to encourage more prospective teachers and make it easy for them to get employed upon graduation so that they can make positive impacts on the society.

“In the course of 2021, we passed other important bills that have helped to keep Lagos at its enviable position.

“The Lagos State House of Assembly with very brilliant and zealous representatives, would continue to be at its best in 2022,” Obasa promised as he congratulated residents of the state and Nigerians.
