Mojisola Meranda has officially resigned from her position as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Meranda, the Assembly’s first female Speaker, resigned 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.
