Lawmaker Desmond Elliot has described his recent engagement with students from selected schools in Lagos as insightful and encouraging following an educational visit to the Lagos State House of Assembly.
The visit brought together pupils and students from Julian Academy, Mushin Primary School, Pampers Private School, Royal Gracfield College, and members of the National Parliamentary Council of FESA.
During the session, Elliot guided the students through the processes and procedures that define legislative activities, offering them firsthand insight into how laws are made and implemented within the Assembly.
He noted that the students demonstrated keen interest in parliamentary proceedings and showed an increasing understanding of how legislative decisions impact governance and development in Lagos State.
According to him, the interaction served as a practical introduction to democratic principles, helping the participants gain a clearer perspective on the role of lawmaking in society.
Elliot further emphasised the importance of such initiatives in promoting civic education and strengthening awareness among young people.
He expressed optimism that early exposure to governance structures would inspire a more informed and responsible generation capable of contributing meaningfully to national development.
The engagement forms part of ongoing efforts to encourage youth participation and deepen understanding of democratic institutions across the state.
