The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday voted against a bill seeking special status and federal grant for Lagos State.
The bill was sponsored by Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress Senator representing Lagos Central.
The bill was rejected after it failed voice vote called by Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
The bill, which was sponsored by Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC, Lagos Central), sought one per cent of federally generated revenue as special grant for Lagos State in view of the former Nigeria capital’s socio-economic significance.
