Speaking at the signing ceremony in Lagos on Thursday, Sanwo-Olu said that the three laws were what government would rally on to make life better for the citizenry.
He said that the citizens were the reason for them to be in government, hence, they (citizens) should expect more from his administration.
The governor commended the House of Assembly for their cooperation and speedy amendment of the laws.
According to him, the laws are to make life easy for residents and give them more opportunities for economic sustainability.
He said that the LASIEC law would give executive power to extend the tenure of commission members by six months, so its activities would not be disrupted.

The governor said that government would be building eight stadia concurrently, which were expected to be ready by end of 2022.

”We will continue to ensure that the issue of legislature autonomy is not a lip service,”the governor said.
The Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, assured that the lawmakers would continue to support and collaborate with the executive, for a greater Lagos.
