Lagos Renews Push For 37 LCDAs Constitutional Recognition

The Lagos State government has made a firm decision to actively pursue the inclusion of the 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the ongoing Constitutional Review process, aiming to legalize these council development areas.

This resolution was among the key points discussed and outlined in a communiqué issued following the 18th edition of the Executive/Legislative Parley, themed "Engaging All for an Inclusive Governance: Hands-on for a Greater Lagos Rising."

The communiqué emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts between the executive, federal lawmakers representing the state, and the state legislature in advocating for a "special status" for Lagos during the ongoing constitution review.

Dr. Afolabi Tajudeen, the Special Adviser, Office of Political, Legislative, and Civic Engagement, signed the communiqué, stressing the imperative to raise awareness and educate the populace about the significance and functions of each arm of government.

During the discussions, participants floated the idea of temporarily suspending certain taxes, levies, charges, and rates, along with proposing rebates where necessary to support the most vulnerable amidst prevailing economic challenges. Additionally, recommendations were made for the reinstatement of a school feeding program targeting primary schools across the state.

Lagos State Government Begins Ounje Eko Discounted Sunday Food Markets In 57 Locations

The state government has commenced the 'Ounje Eko' food markets in fifty-seven locations across the five divisions of the state.

The food items are sold at a 25% discount at the market, which is open every Sunday.

Items on sale include rice, beans, eggs, semovita, tomatoes, and onions.

The markets opened at 27 locations in Ikeja: six on Lagos Island; nine in Ikorodu; five in Epe; and 10 in Badagry.

Our correspondent, Nicholas Anyamene, visited the Victoria Island center, where the coordinator of the market, Opeyemi Adepoju, assured residents of adequate food items to cater to the needs of intending buyers. 

However, there were mixed feelings among the residents, as some complained about the prices while others commended the state government for the initiative and hoped for improvements in the coming weeks. 

Another visit to the Coker Aguda Center saw a large turnout of residents. The Council Chairman, Razaq Olalekan, said the location resorted to using the Lagos State Resident, LASRRA, card to curb sharp practices.

He, however, allayed the fears of residents who do not yet have the cards.
