[quote author=fergie001 post=134723436][/quote]This is very commendable and should be passed as quickly as possible.
Lagos being the state with the largest population and the largest economy in Nigeria should have the highest local government areas.

I can see the hands of the President on this bill and that shows that it will pass in both houses easily.

Wait and see how this particular bill will see the light of the day.

This is commendable. Kano is not as large in population as Lagos, but has 44 LGAs as well as other northern state are unjustly skewed to be draining the resources of this nation.

Obasanjo worked against this stuff back then.

Good move.
44LGAs looks better on Lagos than Kano.

I have my reservations on this, but I think Lagos needs it. When you compare Lagos to other Northern states, it’s not bad.

But finally, na good idea with a touch of intention to gather money.

Is it by population or landmass?

I am more certain that you or anyone from your lineage will never do well enough to become LG chairman nor even councillor, neither in this life nor in the life to come.

Bayelsa and also Rivers state need more LGA's to expedite development at the hinterland. What is sauce for Lagos should also be sauce for Bayelsa, Rivers and other States.

does landmass make any sense to you? So vas, uninhabited and unhabitable savannah matter more than actual human beings that live in Lagos?

Nice one. If Kano can have 44 nothing stops the centre of excellence from having 45
Re: Bill Seeking To Upgrade 37 LCDAs In Lagos To LGAs Passes Second Reading by techaboki: 8:27pm On Mar 26, 2025
LCDAs are in almost every state. So why only Lagos?

GEJ no get sense. Imagine begging Lagos for more LGs after GEJ was there for 6 years.

Infact I still discussed this with my colleagues today. Two years ago I was at Ajah under bridge waiting for the heavy rain to stop; mehn the kind of crowd that gathered that day under the bridge and its axis, I was marvelled.
Lagos is just too overcrowded.
