The Lagos State House of Assembly has confirmed Wahid Enitan Oshodi as Chairman of the Lagos State Sports Trust Fund Board of Trustees, following his nomination by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The confirmation followed the presentation of a screening report by the Chairman of the ad-hoc Committee, Hon. Fatai Mojeed, who led the exercise in line with Sections 106 and 192 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

According to the report, the committee assessed the nominee based on the documentation of his credentials, personal appearance, performance, and overall presentation during the screening.

Members of the Assembly also raised questions, all of which Oshodi responded to satisfactorily.

Mojeed noted that the committee reviewed previous nominations to the position and found Oshodi suitable and qualified for the role.

Consequently, the committee unanimously recommended that the former Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Social Development be approved as Chairman of the Lagos State Sports Trust Fund Board of Trustees.

The House adopted the committee’s report and confirmed Oshodi’s appointment.

The speaker, Mudashiru Obasa therefore directed the clerk, Olalekan Onafeko to send the resolution of the house to the governor.

The document, unveiled at the Assembly Complex on Wednesday, is being positioned as a social contract designed to enhance institutional transparency and streamline public engagement.

The Service Delivery Charter, championed by the Speaker, marks a significant shift towards formalised accountability within the state’s legislative arm.

Officials described the charter as a roadmap that outlines the rights of citizens and the responsibilities of the Assembly staff, effectively setting a benchmark for parliamentary service across the continent.

Speaking at the Lateef Jakande Auditorium, Onafeko characterised the document as more than just a formal manual.

“We are gathered here as partners and stakeholders in the remarkable progress of this great institution,” Onafeko told the audience of lawmakers, civil servants and other stakeholders.

“Our unwavering commitment remains to deliver qualitative and efficient service to the good people of Lagos State through our legislative responsibilities.”

Onafeko further described the charter as a binding guide for staff, regardless of their rank, stating that it dictates “how, when, and what quality of service” must be provided to every visitor and constituent.

The Head of the Service Delivery Unit, Uzezi Saka-Shenayon, emphasised that the charter provides a framework for the public to actively monitor and evaluate the Assembly’s performance.
