Just In, Lagos State House Of Assembly Passes Bills On VAT And Open Grazing

The Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday passed bills of the State’s Value Added Tax (VAT), with Speaker Mudashiru Obasa directing the Acting Clerk of the House, Mr. Olalekan Onafeko, to transmit a clean copy to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for assent.

The House assembly also passed the bill that prohibits open cattle grazing in the state.

The bills were passed after unanimous votes by the lawmakers at the sitting after it was read thrice.

Just as the bills were passed, the Speaker Obasa commended his colleagues for their passion to see that the state continues to grow.

“I Thank you all for this historic exercise,” Obasa said.

Recall that the House held separate public hearings on the bills on Wednesday with stakeholders expressing support.
