The Acting Chairman of Lagos State House of Assembly Service Commission (LAHASCOM), Otunba Richards Akin Oshungboye has commended the leadership of the Kebbi State House of Assembly Service Commission(HASC-KB) for laying solid foundation for the establishment of Commission.
Oshungboye, who gave the commendation when the Commission, led by its Chairman, Hon. Umar Alteni Suru visited LAHASCOM on a study tour on Thursday, 21 December, 2023, stated that the legislative institution has lived up to the expectations of the people of Kebbi State in terms of starting on a strong foundation.
He disclosed that, “with the support of the House of Assembly led by our able Rt.Hon Speaker, (Dr.) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, the Lagos State House of Assembly Service Commission shall always support and collaborate with the Kebbi State House of Assembly Service Commission and other commissions as the need arises.”
While assuring the delegation that LAHASCOM would be readily available to provide necessary support to ensure rapid development of Kebbi State House of Assembly Service Commission and other legislative assembly service commissions in the federation, LAHASCOM’S Chairman said lack of support for some legislative service commissions has impeded their growth and development.
According to him, “the role of the legislative service commissions all over the world is to support the legislative institutions and efforts must be made to ensure the institutions perform their functions effectively.”
He explained further that, “for the Legislatures to really develop and function optimally, the legislative service commissions across the world would not relent in their core responsibilities of recruiting, training and capacity building, amongst other functions”.
The Chairman, Kebbi State House of Assembly Service Commission, Hon. Suru while delivering his address, stated that the main purpose of the tour was to discuss and learn from LAHASCOM’s wealth of experience, being a pacesetter and the pioneer State Support Service Commission in Nigeria.
‘‘We have come to meet with the leadership of the Lagos State House of Assembly Service Commission with the view to tapping from her wealth of experience in form of providing fruitful guidance towards the development of the Kebbi State House of Assembly Service Commission,’’ Umar said.
Also present at the meeting were LAHASCOM and HASC-KB members and LAHASCOM management Staff.
