The Lagos State House of Assembly yesterday suspended three local government council chairmen in the state over alleged disregard for the guidelines governing their activities.
In a statement posted on its website, the lawmakers said they would no longer continue to watch while the council chairmen stubbornly flouted the state’s local government guidelines.
The affected chairmen are: Ogidan Mukandasi Olaitan of the Lekki LCDA; Suleiman Jelili of Alimosho Local Government Area and Tajudeen Ajide of the Surulere Local Government Area.
Their suspension was unanimously approved by members of the House in a voice vote with no opposition.
This was shortly after Hon. Bisi Yusuff (Alimosho 1), who is the chairman of the House Committee on Commerce and Industry, accused Olaitan of being very rude.
