The Members recalled that in the course of restructuring, Lagos State Government has been championing the call for amendment of the constitution to allow certain areas that are very defective to Lagosian whereas the National Assembly has itemised areas of the constitution to be amended but the listed items exclude some items that are pertinent and germane to the people of Lagos State.
Meanwhile, Members have moved a motion in itemizing, collecting and presenting it to the NASS since those areas are very important to the economy, safety and progress of Lagosian.
