Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa has named Nollywood actor-turned-politician, Desmond Elliot and Mojisola Alli-Macaulay among the new committee chairmen.

Elliot and Alli-Macaulay drew the ire of many youths over their comments in the wake of the #EndSARS protest late last year against police brutality and bad governance.
