Mudashiru Obasa, speaker of the Lagos house of assembly, says only a constitutional amendment can grant the 37 Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs, the same status as LGAs.
The LCDAs were created by President Bola Tinubu in 2003 when he was governor of Lagos state, but last week, the Lagos House of Assembly moved to replace the LCDAs with newly designated administrative areas.
Speaking on Thursday during the second public hearing on the proposed LG administration bill, the Speaker added that the bill, once passed, would allow LGAs to function optimally, adhering to the rule of law and separation of powers.
