Mojisola Meranda, representing Apapa 1 State Constituency, has become the first female Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. She assumed office on Monday after the impeachment of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa during plenary.
Security personnel arrested individuals attempting to invade the Assembly complex, with charms and amulets recovered from those believed to be supporters of the former Speaker.
While taking her oath of office, Meranda pledged to be faithful and to perform her duties honestly, in alignment with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
