and subsequent assent by Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode.
The Speaker of the

there was a need to address all the issues raised by the people concerning the
law.
The Speaker named Mr
Bayo Oshinowo, Chairman, House Committee on Lands, as the Chairman of the Ad

with all shades of opinions from Lagos residents.
Other members of the
Committee included: Hon. Yinka Ogundimu, Chairman, House Committee on Finance

Tunde Braimoh, Chairman, House Committee on Information, Strategy and Security,
Hon Jude Idimogu (APC-Oshodi-Isolo II) and Hon Olusola Sokunle
(APC-Oshodi-Isolo I).
IN a chat with WORLD LEADERS last night, Clerk of the House,
A.A.SANI appealed to people to participate and contribute in the process of law
making during public hearing to make their own contributions.
“We want to involve
general public, so tell them through your world platform to freely attend this
was actually done when this land use charge was in the process before passage
and sending to the governor for assent. We invited the public but we didn’t
hear much from them concerning all these concerns. If only they had responded
at that time, probably we would have done what would be acceptable to all” he
said.
IT would be recalled that following public outcry, the state
government, after initially hiking the charge by as much as 400 per cent in
some cases, responded by lowering the rates.
The hike had followed an amendment of the state Land Use Charge Law by the state assembly, which consolidated several taxes.
The state government, after lowering the rates, had also promised to return the enabling law to the Lagos Assembly for another review
