“No informed person should believe this lies against the Assembly that is above the common standard of excellence. The news is far from the reality.
“The process of law making is universal and very open. You cannot pass a law without subjecting it to public hearing in Lagos State.”
The lawmakers urged Lagosians and Nigerians to disregard the report describing peddlers of “this unfounded report as illiterate, uninformed, and uneducated people who needed to be schooled about the law making process.”
