Mojisola Meranda has stepped down as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Meranda, who made history as the Assembly’s first female Speaker, announced her resignation during plenary on Monday.
“This is a notice of resignation as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly,” she read her resignation letter out at the plenary Monday on afternoon.
Meranda assumed office on January 13, 2025, following the removal of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, who is reportedly poised for reinstatement.
Despite her brief tenure, lawmakers lauded her ability to lead effectively and foster a positive atmosphere in the Assembly.
