In a statement made available to DAILY POST on Thursday, Obasa said that effective legislation plays an integral role in the overall socio-economic development of all states and the country in general.<\/p>\n

He used the opportunity to appeal to his colleagues to prioritise and be responsive to the needs and interests of the people, saying that every legislature operates under different rules and circumstances.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cContinue to legislate for the good governance of their respective states because. Effective legislation plays an integral role in the overall socio-economic development of all states and the nation at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs legislators, we must prioritise and be responsive to the needs and interests of the people as exemplified by our activities in the Lagos State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand that every legislature operates under different rules and circumstances, but you can never get it wrong when the goal is legislative efficiency and effectiveness, which are two different things\u201d.<\/p>\n
