The Nigerian Senate has voted against a bill seeking special status and a federal grant for Lagos State.
The bill sponsored by Oluremi Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress Senator representing Lagos Central, was rejected on Wednesday after failing a voice vote called by Ike Ekweremadu.
Consequently, the bill, SB 112, failed to scale second reading for committee stage.
It sought one per cent of federally generated revenue as a special grant for Lagos State in view of the former Nigeria capital’s socioeconomic significance.
