The Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday read for the second time a bill to establish a legislative and research institute to foster the transmission of knowledge from one generation to the next.
The Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, said the bill was to entrench an efficient and effective legislative institute in the state and to solve the problem of councilmen who were not provided the opportunity to perform their functions as legislators due to lack of knowledge.
He said, “This bill is viable to us and also for other legislatures in service of the parliament and other states can share in it as the centre will be a learning space for councillors and local government chairmen, promoting and deepening democracy in our state. The institute will also engage international legislative bodies like the African Parliamentary Union, where we can acquire more knowledge through the centre.”
