Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, has announced new principal officers following the dissolution of the former committees.
The new appointees are: Hon. Temitope Adedeji, representing Ifako Ijaye 1 Constituency as Majority Leader; Hon. Richard Kasumu, representing Ikeja 2 Constituency, Deputy Majority Leader; Hon. David Setonji, representing Badagry 2 Constituency, Chief Whip and Hon. Semiu Okanlawon, representing Kosofe Constituency 1, Deputy Chief Whip.
Meranda was sworn in as first female speaker on the 13th January 2025, following the impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office.

As Speaker, Meranda aims to create a more inclusive democracy, leaving past controversies behind and focusing on moving forward.
