The Lagos State House of Assembly has resolved to remove Mr. Olalekan Onafeko as Clerk of the House with immediate effect.

This followed deliberations by lawmakers and was adopted through a voice vote during plenary on Tuesday.

In his remark, the Speaker of the House, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa, said the removal was in line with established rules guiding tenure in the Assembly.

Obasa explained that Onafeko’s tenure had elapsed, making the decision a procedural step rather than a disciplinary measure.

Onafeko had served as Clerk of the House since January 14, 2022 and supervised administration and coordination of House activities.

The Speaker commended the former Clerk’s contributions, noting that his tenure witnessed key legislative engagements and institutional developments within the Assembly.
