Eko Hot Blog reports that the House tasked the Federal Government with finding an expedient solution to Nigeria’s poverty problem.
The Assembly encouraged the National Assembly to discuss popular demands for fiscal federalism and power devolution.
The Speaker of the Plenary, Mudashiru Obasa, observed that the nation had experienced a degree of unity since Independence.
Obasa, a lawmaker representing Agege, lamented that peace and unity had, over time, been affected by different challenges.
“We call on the federal government to work on eradicating poverty, insecurity and do what would make the people live happily.
“I also urge the National Assembly to put more efforts on devolution of power and fiscal federalism so that Nigeria would be better”, he said.
The Lagos legislature observed a minute silence in honour of the nation’s founding fathers and martyrs.
However, the House read for the third time and passed the bill for a law to establish human organs, tissue harvesting and transplantation agency.
