The Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, following passage of the bills has directed the acting Clerk, Olalekan Onafeko, to transmit a clean copy of the passed bill to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for assent.
The Public hearing for the two bills was held Wednesday at the Lagos State House of Assembly where different suggestions were made by stakeholders.
Lawmakers say the anti-open grazing bill will help forestall herders/farmers’ clashes and redefine social and economic activities in the state.
