Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly, western Nigeria could not hide their confusion and disappointment on Monday evening when the House could not pass the 2014 as expected because the House Committee on Economic Planning and Budget handed to the House an incomplete report.
The bill was scheduled for passage by the House after the committee chairman, Mudashiru Obasa, last week laid the report of his committee containing the approved budget for the year, other explanations and details to the House in preparation for a presentation before the Committee of the Whole, in this case referred to as the Committee on Supply.
The lawmakers had all gathered for the day’s sitting on Monday and had resorted to the Committee on Supply when a member of the House, Suru Avoseh, raised an observation complaining that copies of the report were not available to the members.
