Mojisola Meranda has officially stepped down as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, marking a sudden transition in the legislative leadership of Nigeria’s commercial hub.
Meranda, who was appointed Speaker just seven weeks ago, following the removal of the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office, announced her resignation during Monday’s plenary session.
Her decision to step aside has sparked reactions from fellow lawmakers, who praised her leadership qualities and her role in maintaining stability within the Assembly.
