The Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday removed Mr. Olalekan Onafeko as Clerk of the House with immediate effect, bringing an end to his tenure after more than two years in office.
The decision was reached during plenary after deliberations by lawmakers and was subsequently adopted through a voice vote, indicating overwhelming support among members of the Assembly.
Speaker of the House, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa, who presided over the session, explained that the action was in line with the Assembly’s established rules guiding tenure in office.
According to Obasa, Onafeko’s tenure had naturally elapsed, stressing that the decision should not be interpreted as a disciplinary action but a routine administrative process.
Onafeko had served as Clerk of the House since January 14, 2022, where he supervised legislative administration and coordinated activities of the Assembly.
The Speaker commended the outgoing Clerk for his service, noting that his period in office witnessed significant legislative engagements and institutional growth within the Assembly.
Following the development, Obasa announced the appointment of Adenike Osinowo as the new Clerk of the House with immediate effect.
He expressed confidence in her ability to deliver effectively, stating that her experience and administrative competence would further strengthen legislative operations and improve efficiency within the Assembly.
In another development, the House also confirmed Latifat Ogbara as Chairman of the Lagos State House of Assembly Service Commission.
Lawmakers described her appointment as deserving, citing her track record, competence and years of public service experience.
The Assembly equally confirmed Remi Bello as a member of the Commission and charged him with contributing meaningfully to ongoing institutional reforms.
Members of the House urged the newly appointed officials to uphold professionalism, transparency and dedication in the discharge of their duties.
