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.
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
Residents of Lagos should prepare for traffic disruptions as several roads will be closed due to the visit of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is set to commission infrastructural projects.
The commissioning will take place on April 8 and 9, 2026.
Affected areas on Wednesday (April 8):
Opebi, Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Ojota, and Victoria Island.
Affected areas on Thursday (April 9):
Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and Ajegunle.
Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes and expect heavy traffic during these periods.

The president shared “Open the F***ing Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH!”
It can be noted that he even did a countdown on Saturday “48 hours before all Hell will rain down on them,” he warned Saturday. “Time is running out.”
