JUST IN: Lagos State Government pulls Ogun State Government before Federal Government over boundary dispute

By allcitynews.ng

In apparent bid to forestall future confrontation and end communal clashes among residents of border communities, the Lagos State Government has approached the Federal Government to challenge Ogun State government’s claim to land along the borderline between both states.

It said that the decision to approach the central government through the National Boundary Commission (NBC) was to retain its borderlines as well as protect its citizens from constant attacks from residents of Ogun who were also laying claims to their land.

According to the government, the disputed lands span across the borderlines with Ogun particularly in three local governments Areas of the state.

This came barely six months after the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, declared that none of the state border land would be ceded to its neighbours including Lagos and Oyo states.

Announcing the state government’s decision during the 2025 ministerial press briefing on Thursday, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and Rural Development, Bolaji Roberts, noted that the government through the Ministry received and addressed several reports relating to boundary issues in 2024.
