He introduced the theme: "Environmental Challenges: Community Engagement to Facilitate lasting resolutions."

Agunbiade said, "we engage our constituents annually to deliberate on issues affecting the general well-being; to rub minds on issues of concern and greater progress of our State and indeed to educate citizens on Government policies and activities as well as take your complaints and suggestions back to the Executive arm of Government for necessary action.

"As a foremost State Legislature that takes the welfare of its people as paramount and diligent in its primary responsibilities, it recently deliberated extensively as its Plenary Session on Tuesday, 23rd July, 2019 on the increasing and threatening environmental issues in the State including flooding, drainage related matters and the need to proffer necessary solutions.

"Despite efforts being put in place to sensitise residents on the need to protect the environment, some still prefer to violate the Environmental Law and involve in actions capable of frustrating government's efforts and huge investment in the sector.

"While assuring you that the 9th assembly would continue to do everything possible within its capacity to bring governance closer to the people in order to facilitate participatory governance, the progress of our State is a collective responsibility. We urge you to continue to support the Government by performing your civic responsibilities." Agunbiade said

His Royal Majesty, Oba (Engr) Kabir Shotobi in his eloquent remarks said the most important thing about the Environmental Challenges is that the government should engage all the agencies in charge of disposing refuse due to their corruption in their work.

"I thank you for encouraging us so far and responding to our calls. I'm certain that with the outcome of today's meeting, it would enhance our collaborative efforts towards making Lagos the State of our dream and Centre of Excellence that it is." SOB added.
