Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has received an appointment to the executive committee of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) for the Africa Region. This news was officially communicated through a letter from CPA Regional Secretary Daniel Eliufoo, which was read by the Assembly Clerk Olalekan Onafeko during a plenary session on Tuesday. As a sub-national representative, Obasa’s role is expected to enhance Lagos State's engagement and representation within the Commonwealth parliamentary community.

Obasa's term on the committee is set to last for three years, spanning from 2026 to 2029. His appointment reflects the increasing recognition of Nigeria's parliamentary leadership within broader Commonwealth discussions and initiatives. The CPA plays an important role in fostering collaboration and sharing best practices among member states, and Obasa's involvement could provide opportunities for Lagos to benefit from shared resources and knowledge.

The newly appointed member's first duty will involve attending the 90th Executive Committee meeting scheduled to take place in Swakopmund, Namibia from March 2 to March 6. His participation in this event underscores the significance of international parliamentary relationships and sheds light on the responsibilities and engagement expected from members within the Commonwealth community. Obasa's appointment not only honors his accomplishments but also highlights Nigeria's role in regional governance through parliamentary participation.
