The Lagos State Government has successfully ended a 42-year legal dispute with members of the Shangisha Landlords Association by allocating 549 plots of land, a victory hailed by all parties involved. This significant milestone follows a protracted legal battle over the plots, which was enforced by a Supreme Court judgement issued in 2012.
The allocation is expected to bring closure to the affected landowners, many of whom have been waiting for justice for decades. The Lagos State Solicitor-General, Hameed Oyenuga, presented the allocated area, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure development to make the site habitable. Association Chairman, Chief Adebayo Adeyiga, expressed gratitude for witnessing the resolution, while urging the state to complete the remaining allocations and provide necessary services.
