Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa has said he never imagined he would one day lead the legislature.

He credited hard work, dedication and what he called God's plan for his life.

He made the remarks at an event at the Assembly complex in Ikeja, held to support students in public schools across the state.

Officials from the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) also attended.

Obasa told students that he once sat in a public school classroom and never thought he would head the parliament of Africa's third-largest economy.

He said they too could one day become governor or president if they stay focused.

He also urged them to stay away from cultism, drug abuse and other social vices.
