The 4th Apapa-Iganmu Legislative Council

DISCLAIMER NOTICE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

Our attention has been drawn to the statements issue by the media aide to the chairman apapa iganmu lcda against the 4th legislative arm of government Apapa iganmu lcda and we wish to notified the public of the following as against the formal statement from the chairman's media aide

1• The leader of council and councillors didn't asked for any share before the commencement of the renovation of the secretariat. What we asked the Chairman to do is to come to the house for appraisal of what happened and how reoccurrences could be prevented before commencement. And the chairman refused.

2• The house has never and will not ask for percentage on project when the legislative council are not the one awarding contracts. All we asked for was accountability; knowing facts and figures of what goes into each executed projects.

3• Point 3:
Leader of the council has not for once served with the monthly JAAC report not to talk of requesting for a certain percentage..

5• And the reasons for the Leader of the Council to be the one doing the talking on behalf of the whole councillors is because the council elected her to be her mouthpiece and that is what she's doing. Let it be on record that whatever the leader said at any parliamentary meeting with the Executive Chairman has been a unanimous agreement of all the councillors.

The criterion clearly stated and discussed at the public hearing; Application shall be opened to all tertiary students in Apapa Iganmu LCDA with copies of Admission letter, School Identity card, Birth Certificate and Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA Card).

A stakeholder, Mrs. Shade observed that the Executive Chairman of the LCDA and Vice Chairman doubled as Supervisor for Education should be part of the selection process as committee.

Mrs. Shade added that the selection base on merit; That it shouldn't be on favour and or politicize.

Speaking on the other bills, Mrs. Shade observed that A bill to restrict people from Total Blocking of Streets/Roads for party, social and other religious activities should be total ban so as avoid misconception of the law to block a side of the road for such activities in a case of emergency. She added that anyone planning for an event should as well plan to rent a befitting venue for the event not blocking of roads.

Also speaking, Comrade Ola Ayobami from the Nigeria Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association, Lagos State Chapter NLPGA called for clarification on a Bill to restrict Gas Shops within Apapa Iganmu LCDA, which concerns NLPGA as they have operational rights given to them by the Government.

He admitted that the way most of their members operate is unlawful and that needs to be checkmatted but he will urge the government not to deprived them of the operational right rather than regulate their operation.

In his submission, Comrade Ola Ayobami said there are rules and regulations guiding their operation and urged the legislative council to take time in studying the guidelines before passing the bill into law.

Speaking on behalf of the Youth Council, Comrade Dayo Adodeyin toed the line of Mrs. Shade on a Bill to Reestablish the Annual Grant to indigent students of Higher Institution of Learning in Apapa Iganmu LCDA to make sure it is done base on merit so that a common man will benefit from this laudable idea.

Comrade Dayo speaks on a Bill to Restrict people from total blocking of Streets/Roads for party, social and other religious activities should retain its standard instead of total ban; people should allow to use the street for party but outright blocking of Streets should not be allow. According to him, many cannot afford paying huge amount to rent event hall or space. He also urge the Legislative Council to also come up with a bill to curb insecurity so as to address the current menace in Apapa Iganmu LCDA.

Speaking on the Bill to amend the Control of Kiosks, Workshops and Private Lock Up Shops Rates and Permit, the representative of Baba and Iya Oloja appeal to the Council that amendment on shop rates and permit shouldn't be an increment on the rate.

Hon. Dr. Funmilayo Akande-Muhammed, the Executive Chairman of Apapa Iganmu LCDA commend the 4th Legislative Council under the leadership of Hon. Mujidat Funmilayo Lanihun for their job well-done.

With that reason, she will support and ensure the enforcement of the proposed bills after passing into law especially the bill on gas shops.

On the Gas bill, the Executive Chairman now charged the NLPGA to provide the council with list of authorized gas dealers to know which of the gas shops operating out of their guidelines.
