The Nigerian Senate on today voted rejected a bill seeking special status and federal grant for Lagos State.
The bill was sponsored by Oluremi Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress Senator representing Lagos Central and failed a voice vote called by Ike Ekweremadu.
As a result, , the bill titled SB 112, failed to scale second reading for committee stage.
It sought one per cent of revenue generated by the federal government as special grant for Lagos State in view of the former Nigeria capital’s socio-economic significance.
