There is really no need to fight over this matter. With a population of 180million, the marriage business can still go round everybody. Lagos state government should stop being greedy. Federal government should do their thing and state governments should do theirs unhindered. There is enough money to be made by everybody from the marriage business.

You are right

nawao

Below are some pages on the certified true copy of the judgement.

The judgement is very clear that, while you can celebrate your marriage at any approved designated places, such marriage can only be registered at the local government offices.

What that means is, you can go and file notice of marriage at any local government and then take the license issued you to Ikoyi to get married.

What they do at Ikoyi presently is illegal. They are not meant to do filing of marriage notice.

They are like any regular licensed place of worship or open office where marriages can be celebrated.

If anyone needs the full copy of the Certified True Copy of judgement, you can chat me up.

As a legal practitioner, D handwritin on d wall was clear. What d court ruling interpre ts is dat d ikoyi court should issue certificates of marriage to place of worships like church, mosques, etc, and dey do d signing. Why ar dey taking d responsibility and depriving the rights of d place of worships who register under d govt. and payed their dues. Well case is stil under hearing, lets watch d judiciary closely on diz.... @ #ABACUZ

The Federal Government has faulted claims by the Lagos State Government that a Federal High Court has shut down the Ikoyi Marriage Registry , insisting that the report is false.
The Ministry of Interior said that the court presided over by Justice Chuka Obiozor simply upheld the judgment of a Federal High Court delivered in 2002 which was not appealed.
It explained that the case, Suit No : FHC/L /CS /1760/16- Egor Local Government Area of Edo State & three others Vs. Ministry of Interior & others, cited by the Lagos State government was actually struck out by Justice Obiozor in his judgment delivered on April 30, 2018.
The Director of Legal , Ministry of Interior , Bola Odugbesan, made the clarification in a statement in Abuja on Friday, in reaction to a press statement on Thursday by the Director , Public Affairs, Lagos State Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs, Bisi Olufuwa.
Olufuwa had claimed that the Lagos State had secured a court injunction restraining the Ikoyi registry from conducting marriages .
Dismissing the claims, Odugbesan presented a copy of the judgment by Obiozor who described the case as an abuse of court process and struck it out .
Checks by our correspondent also showed that the Lagos State Government was not a party to the suit .
Clarifying what transpired in the suit , Odugbesan said, “ In the case, the court was invited to interpret the provisions of the Constitution conferring on local governments, the powers to register marriages .
“ The Minister of Interior, through his Counsel , Bola Odugbesan, argued that under item 61 of the Exclusive List , matters connected with marriage under the Marriage Act , issuing of marriage certificate and its registration are outside the purview of state and /or local governments.”
The director further explained , “The Federal High Court in its judgment dated April 30 , 2018 , struck out the case of the Plaintiffs, ie , Egor LGA & Ors . The court held that the case is an abuse of the court process in view of the earlier judgment of the court in 2002 which upheld the sanctity of the rights of the Minister to issue licences to places of worship to conduct marriages , and the Registrar under the Marriage Act to register marriages . It is instructive to note that Lagos State was not a party in the case,”
Odugbesan insisted that the Federal High Court never ordered the closure of Ikoyi Marriage Registry as claimed by Olufuwa.
