Lagos State Government Installs Boundary Signposts

The Lagos State Government has initiated the installation of boundary demarcation signposts across the state to prevent disputes between neighboring communities and bordering states. This was announced by the Lagos State Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Rural Development.

The Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Kikelomo Bolarinwa, stated that the initiative aims to ensure peaceful coexistence among communities and prevent disputes from boundary encroachment. The government is committed to indicating clear boundaries in accordance with the Office of the Surveyor-General.

The installations are intended to check encroachment, ensure welfare provision for residents of border communities, and support infrastructure development. Bolarinwa urged residents not to vandalize the signposts, warning that violators would face punishment.

The initiative aligns with the government's goal of making Lagos a 21st Century Economy and achieving a Greater Lagos, with signposts installed in locations including Eredo-Epe, Mojoda, and the Seme border.
