  "summary": "The Chairman of Ifo Local Government in Ogun State, Kusimo Idris Olalekan, has urged the Lagos State Government to intervene regarding a signpost erected at a disputed location along the Yakoyo–Ojodu Road. According to Daily Post Nigeria, the signpost bears the inscription “Welcome to Lagos State” and has raised concerns regarding the boundary between the two states.\n\nIfo Local Government maintains that the area, specifically around Yakoyo in the Isheri-Ojodu Ward, falls within its territorial jurisdiction. Daily Post Nigeria reports that the council believes the placement of the signpost could cause confusion for residents and road users. The council expressed concern that the development follows the construction of a road by the Ogun State Government under Governor Dapo Abiodun.\n\nPremium Times reports that Olalekan urged the Lagos State Government to call his counterpart in Ojodu Local Government to order over the erection of the signpost. Punch notes that the Ifo Local Government has faulted the Lagos State Government over the signpost and urged it to address the boundary.",
