The Town hall meeting held in the Mushin constituencies was met with a large crowd of people in attendance all cramped in the exorbitant canopy carefully decorated with drapes and chandeliers. Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon Ikuforiji and Hon. Mrs Adefunmilayo Tejuoso, the representative of the Mushin constituency 1 who is also the Deputy Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly, amongst many other politicians were present. Hon. Mrs Tejuoso in her speech explained that these town hall meetings were borne out of the demand of the people to get involved in the process of governance and in doing so leaders in these local governments with great ideas can come and express their views, ask questions and proffer solutions which will form the bedrock of planning and legislation. No doubt, leaders of the various groups came up with what they needed the state government to do for them some of which include roads, schools, drainage and many more of such issues. This initiative of the State government is a great one but i would like to believe that many of those in attendance were there because they could get something out of this gathering.
