The Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday has passed the bill prohibiting open grazing of cattle and state’s Value Added Tax (VAT) with the speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, directing the acting clerk of the house, Olalekan Onafeko, to transmit a clean copy to executive governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for assent.
The two bills were passed after unanimous votes by the lawmakers at the sitting where they were read the third time.
Obasa commended his colleagues for their passion to see that the state continues to grow.
“I thank you all for this historic exercise,” Obasa said.
Recall that the house held separate public hearings on the bills on Wednesday with stakeholders expressing support.
