Wale busari02 mins

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) launched a nationwide protest on December 17, 2025, to demand urgent government action over rising insecurity, with confirmed demonstrations in Abuja, Lagos, and Enugu. Led by NLC President Joe Ajaero, members gathered at key locations, including the NLC secretariat in Abuja, ahead of the rallies. Despite a late-night meeting between President Bola Tinubu and union leaders aimed at averting the protest, the NLC went ahead with its planned action. In preparation, police deployed tactical units and placed commands on high alert in major cities such as Lagos and Abuja. The protests caused disruptions in Enugu, highlighting the scale of the nationwide mobilisation. While the demonstrations were planned across the country, Taraba State has not been confirmed as a location where protests took place. So far, Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu are the only states with verified reports of active protests. The nationwide action was organised to draw attention to the worsening insecurity in Nigeria and push for immediate government intervention.

Lagos State Tenancy Bill 2025 Seeks to End Illegal Evictions and Strengthen Tenant Protections

Wale busari03 mins

The Lagos State Government has unveiled the Lagos State Tenancy and Recovery of Premises Bill 2025 (Draft), aimed at protecting tenants from harassment and illegal evictions. Under the proposed law, it will be a criminal offence for landlords to evict tenants without a court order or resort to self-help measures such as cutting utilities or dismantling parts of a property. Section 10 of the bill requires landlords to respect tenants’ peaceful enjoyment of their homes, explicitly forbidding actions like removing roofs, cutting off electricity or water, or otherwise interfering with the property. Section 43 makes it an offence for anyone who forcibly ejects a tenant, threatens or intimidates them, or damages property to facilitate eviction without a court order. Convictions could attract a fine of at least N1 million, up to six months in custody, or a combination of both. The provision responds to recurring reports of landlords locking out tenants, breaking into homes, or using thugs during disputes. The bill also addresses arbitrary rent increases. Section 33 allows courts to review rent hikes, taking into account local rental levels, evidence from both parties, and any special circumstances. Landlords are barred from evicting tenants while these cases are pending, offering protection against sudden and excessive rent surges, which can range from 50–200% without notice. Tenants can request the court to declare a rent increase unreasonable. The court will evaluate comparative rents, witness testimonies, and other relevant factors, and may adjust the rent to a fair amount. Eviction is prohibited while the application is under review. The bill also streamlines dispute resolution and strengthens transparency. Sections 20–24 introduce faster legal procedures, including originating summons, hearings within 14 days, weekend or virtual sittings, and mediation capped at 30 days. Section 12 requires landlords to provide semi-annual accounts of service charges and security deposits, which must be refunded unless damages are documented. Section 7 reaffirms tenants’ rights to privacy, peaceful enjoyment, access to common areas, and compensation for approved improvements. Overall, the Lagos Tenancy Bill 2025 seeks to modernise tenancy laws, protect tenants, and ensure fair practices in rental housing across the state.

Lagos Moves To Remove Korope From Highways As Lekki–Epe Bus Reform Begins

Wale busari03 mins

Lagos State Government has announced a phased plan to remove korope buses from major highways as part of a wider effort to modernise public transportation and improve safety across the state. The update was shared during a stakeholder meeting held ahead of the launch of the Lekki–Epe Bus Reform Scheme, which will officially begin operations on December 8, 2025. Officials from the Ministry of Transportation, LAMATA, and informal transport operators met to finalize preparations for the first rollout. The new scheme will introduce fully regulated bus services along major corridors such as Ajah–CMS (Marina)/Obalende, Ajah–Oshodi, Ajah–Berger, and Ajah–Iyana Ipaja, with future extensions planned for Epe. According to LAMATA’s Head of Corporate Communication, Kolawole Ojelabi, Special Adviser on Transportation Sola Giwa explained that the long-term goal is to remove unsafe, unregulated vehicles from the busiest routes and replace them with a coordinated, modernised system designed to enhance comfort and safety for commuters. Giwa noted that the state intends to move korope buses off major highways and redirect them to feeder and community routes under the First and Last Mile scheme. He stressed that many poorly maintained buses will be systematically cleared from the road network as improvements roll out across other corridors. Under the new structure, existing regulated operators will continue stage-carriage services, while a cooperative under the NURTW, known as Oneness, has been approved to operate express services between Ajah, Oshodi, and Berger. Buses under the reform will carry Lagos State’s blue-and-white official colours, QR codes for verification, unique identification numbers, and TAP (Touch and Pay) stickers. Drivers will wear Ministry of Transportation badges to enhance accountability. A fleet of 229 medium- and high-capacity buses will operate in the first phase, with all fare payments restricted to the Cowry card system. Giwa warned that any operator or passenger engaging in cash transactions along the corridor will face arrest and prosecution.

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday arrested 20 street beggars during enforcement operations in the Ikosi Ketu and Mile 12 areas. State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said the operation is part of the government’s commitment to restoring order and ensuring public spaces are safe and properly used. According to Wahab, KAI operatives carried out the sweep across Ketu, Mile 12, Ikosi Road, and the 7UP corridor. “The operation, which led to the arrest of twenty individuals involved in street begging and related activities, is part of our ongoing mop-up exercise aimed at curbing environmental violations, protecting the public, and preventing activities that disrupt traffic, safety, and sanitation,” he said on X. He added that those apprehended have been handed over to relevant authorities for profiling and further action, while the ministry continues to collaborate with social welfare agencies to provide rehabilitation where needed. “We will maintain strict enforcement of environmental laws across the state, and we urge residents to report locations where such activities persist. Our goal is to keep Lagos clean, orderly, and safe for everyone,” Wahab said. The operation follows previous crackdowns on street begging, including a November exercise in Ikosi Ketu and Mile 12, where 15 street beggars were arrested.
