The Lagos State House of Assembly has urged the state government to increase the salaries of traditional rulers in the state.

This followed after adopting a motion for “the Upward Review of Traditional Rulers’ Remuneration and the Use of Yoruba Language as a Medium of Communication at Palace and other Public Functions" on Thursday.

They urged Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode and the Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs to do this because it will enhance the performance of these Obas and Baales in the state in their traditional duties.

They also called for an investigation into the alarming rate at which new stools of Obas were being created, so as that the process of upgrading the Baales to the status of Obas was strictly adhered to in the state.
