Ogun LG Chairman Urges Lagos to Remove Controversial Signpost
Idris Kusimo, the Chairman of Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, has called on Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to intervene regarding the installation of a signpost that reads "Welcome to Lagos State" at a disputed area along the Yakoyo–Ojodu Road. Kusimo stated that this signpost has heightened concerns about the boundary between Ogun and Lagos states, particularly in the Isheri-Ojodu Ward, which is claimed to be within Ogun State's jurisdiction.
He expressed that the signpost could confuse residents and road users about the actual boundary. The issue has been exacerbated by a road constructed by Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun's administration.
Kusimo emphasized the need for both state governments to resolve the boundary dispute through official records and surveys to prevent misunderstandings and maintain peaceful relations. He warned against actions that could escalate tensions and urged for responsible handling of the matter by local government officials.
