Distinguished Honourable members of the Lagos State House of Assembly, guests in this hallowed chamber, the Management and Staff of the House, gentlemen of the press, fellow Lagosians,

I remain honoured to preside over today's plenary session of this esteemed Assembly as the newly-elected Speaker. I am deeply grateful for the trust and confidence you have reposed in me, and I pledge to work tirelessly to uphold the principles of transparency, good governance, and other noble tenets that this noble House stands for.

Today, again, we are reminded of the sacred responsibilities that rest on our shoulders as representatives of our good people in Lagos State, elected to give voice to their fair and just hopes, dreams, aspirations, and concerns. We are the guardians of this collective trust, and we must strive to justify the faith they have placed in us.

Esteemed…
