Boundary dispute: Ogun LG kicks against Lagos signposts

The Chairman of Ifo Local Government in Ogun State, Kusimo Idris Olalekan, has urged the Lagos State Government to address a boundary dispute regarding a signpost erected along the Yakoyo–Ojodu Road. According to Daily Post Nigeria, the signpost bears the inscription “Welcome to Lagos State” and is located in a disputed area near Yakoyo in the Isheri-Ojodu Ward.

The dispute follows the construction of a road in the affected area by the Ogun State Government.
