The House leader uttered that the lawmakers, numbering 39, represent millions of people living in the state who expect to see their yearnings met as they walked to the polls to cast their votes.

Obasa said: “We all represent the 40 constituencies of Lagos State and the people in those constituencies are in their millions. How do we serve them effectively? One of the ways is for us to understand the rudiments and details of budgets.

“We must, therefore, truly understand the intention of coming together to discuss issues within the budget knowing that this is in the interest of those we serve.

“You can only perform effective oversight functions when you have a knowledge of what you are expected to do. I, therefore, urge us to pay attention and be dedicated because I believe the knowledge we will gain here will further sharpen our understanding.

“The essence of this is to ensure that we prevent waste and identify corruption where necessary. Above all, we should always remember that we have great people, residents of Lagos, who we promised to serve excellently,” he said.
