The Lagos State House of Assembly has reduced the pension of
former governors of the state by 50 per cent.
A statement signed by Mr. Eromosele Ebhomele, the Chief
Press Secretary to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, on
Thursday, said that the decision was taken after the adoption of a report by
the House Committee on Establishment, which recommended the reduction of
pension for former governors and other affected officials by 50 per cent.
The committee also expunged the provision of houses in Abuja
and Lagos for ex-governors as stipulated in an earlier law operated by the
state.
The report further showed a reduction in the number of
vehicles to be made available to former governors and their deputies.
The Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, suggested that
former governors should get two vehicles (a car and a van) instead of three as
recommended by the committee.
He also suggested that the amended bill should provide that
the cars be changed every four years instead of the three years recommended by
the report.
