Lagos Council Chairmen Urge Assembly to Retain LCDAs Amid Proposed Restructuring
The chairmen of Lagos’ Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), under the banner of Conference 57, have called on the Lagos State House of Assembly to reconsider its proposal to replace the 37 LCDAs with Area Administrative Councils, as outlined in the new Local Government Administration Bill.
During a public hearing on October 17, the Assembly discussed the potential restructuring, prompting Mr. Rasaq Ajala, General-Secretary of Conference 57, to appeal for the preservation of the current system.
Ajala highlighted that the LCDAs have played a crucial role in grassroots development and urged the Assembly to work towards constitutional recognition of the LCDAs rather than their dissolution.
He emphasized the legal and constitutional backing of the 37 LCDAs, referencing the Supreme Court’s validation during President Bola Tinubu’s tenure as Lagos governor.
Conference 57 praised the Assembly for its efforts in fostering development but urged them to maintain the existing LCDAs structure for continued progress.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
