For many, a birthday ceremony is a cue to roll out the drums with plenty of choice foods and drinks, but not for Hon Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, the deputy speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. For her, birthdays are days specially set aside to reflect on the past and draw a fresh strategy to approach the future.
As she adds another year today, Lasbat, who is often described as an embodiment of numerous virtues, which include diligence, excellence, integrity and many more, would use the day to thank her creator for the grace to see another year, as well as go out to put smiles on the faces of the less privileged.
The deputy speaker, a princess born into the noble family of late Chief Taoreed A. Lawal-Akapo, the Ojora, exemplifies her background in everything she does. A compassionate woman who would readily go out of her way to ease the burden of others, she continues to demonstrate the timeless words of Plato, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
Her lineage spans several prestigious royal houses, including the Ojora, Aromire, Onitana, Oloto, Abisogun-Oniru, and Shokun royal families of Lagos State.
A fine mixer, team player, relentless and undying goal getter, her life objective is to contribute to the growth and development of humanity by using her God-given talents and capacity.
Although a lot of things may have been written about her, one thing that has been underreported about the cool, calm and doubly humble woman is her loyalty to her friends and all those around her.
Over the years, the warm and beautiful woman has shown that she is indeed a noble woman who gives her all for whatever she believes in. Those close to her have severally attested to this uncommon attribute.
A shining light to the nation’s democracy, Lasbat is constantly making sure that the well-being of her constituents remains the number one priority on her list of priorities.
By every standard, a woman of substance, Meranda has earned her place at the top through hard work, perseverance and focus. As a staunch defender of the youth, she has consistently preached the message of hard work to the youth and ensured that they attain their potential in the ever-changing world.
She is a woman of sterling character, profound intellect, and remarkable accomplishments
