Control of federal land: Lagos defeats FG in Supreme Court

Published January 27, 2017
Share Tweet Share
Supreme Court of Nigeria


Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

The Supreme Court on Friday struck out a suit filed by the Federal Government seeking an order wresting the control and management of its land in Lagos State from the state government.
A five-man panel of the Supreme Court led by Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour, unanimously struck out the Federal Government’s suit after upholding the preliminary objection filed by the Lagos Government to challenge the competence of the suit.
Justice Dattijo Muhammad, who read the apex court’s lead ruling, agreed with the Lagos State Government that the court lacked the power to exercise its “original jurisdiction” in the suit because the Federal Government had “transferred its title in the land to others”.’
The dispute between the federal and Lagos State governments was about “general control and management of federal land within Lagos State particularly the re-issuance of certificates of occupancy, granting consent or exercising rights of ownership.”

afonjaheadhunt:
like I said you have not been to Lagos before when you get to Lagos go to trade fair and see for your self FG does not have up to 3 block which Igbo's bought over from FG and developed the entire market from the scratch, even at that the old trade ground is different from the new trade fair, stop trying to grab straws, I thought you were insisting that It was owned by LASG.

Ikoyi, Banana Island, Festac, Trade Fair belong to Lagos govt – Okunnu ON JUNE 20, 20177:23 PMIN METROCOMMENTS Elder Statesman and former Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing, Alhaji Femi Okunnu on Tuesday expressed sadness over the current status of the Federal Secretariat in Lagos and other abandoned and surplus assets of the Federal Government in the State, urging that the assets be returned to the State Government for effective and proper usage. Okunnu, who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), spoke at Lagos House in Ikeja while presenting the report of a Special Committee which he chaired set up by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Federal Government Assets in the State. He said the whole of Ikoyi, Banana Island, Osborne Foreshore, Festac Town, Satellite Town, Trade Fair, among others belonged to Lagos State Government, and title of the lands were vested in the Governor of the State, urging the Federal Government to handover the assets to the State Government. Okunnu said the issue of Federal Secretariat in Ikoyi was particularly saddening to him for the fact that it was during his tenure as Federal Commissioner for Works that the structure was constructed. “Federal Secretariat gives me sadness because I built it when I was the Federal Commissioner for Works. The land upon which the secretariat is situated is part of the Crown land now State land. The title is vested in Lagos State but when he was Governor of Lagos State, Brigadier General Omobola Johnson (Rtd) agreed to release that land to Federal Government when they wanted to build Federal Secretariat. “Today, I don’t like to pass through that side because it gives me sadness anytime I see it in the current state. “It is not only the quarters but the land on which many of these buildings in the areas are situate. In our Committee, We have tried to argue that the whole of Ikoyi with the boundary at Lagos Canal standing between Ikoyi Island and Lagos Island, title to the whole of the Island is vested in the government of Lagos State when Lagos became Crown Colony. The whole of Ikoyi including Osborn Foreshore, Banana Island, and others belong to the State Government,” Okunnu said. Going down memory lane, Okunnu said the title to the whole of Festac Town was vested in the Government of Lagos State and that the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) remained the tenant of the State Government, same as Trade Fair. “Lagos State Government acquired the Land of the Trade Fair site but Federal Government took over the land and gave a promise to pay the state compensation which was to be paid to the original owners of the land but that compensation was not paid. Today, the Trade Fair has been turned into market far from the original purpose intended. “Satellite Town too is vested in Lagos State. It is the Federal Government which should prove title to any land which it claims to own in Lagos State, but I will like to urge the Federal Government to return the lands to the State Government,” Okunnu said. He said during the course of the Committee findings, several government agencies were contacted including Federal Ministry of Works, Power and Housing, as well as Ministry of Defence, among others, expressing optimism that the State Government and the Federal Government would find a lasting solution to the issue. “We hope that discussions between Lagos State Government and Federal Government over Federal Government lands and state lands within Lagos, as well as over disuse or surplus lands which Federal Government especially Defence and Prisons are still occupying in Lagos, and are now surplus to requirement, will be held to settle this palaver once and for all,” Okunnu said. Responding after receiving the report, Governor Ambode commended members of the Committee which included Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana; Partner of SimmonsCooper, Mrs Victoria Alonge, among others, for the painstaking efforts put into the report, saying that their passion in ensuring that the State Government recovers its lands, buildings as well as disputed quarters were very much appreciated. He said the report came at a time when the State Government was in dire need of space for developmental projects that would improve the socio-economic wellbeing of its residents in line with the realities of present times, adding that such projects, when embarked upon, would help to reflate the economy and improve the GDP of the State. He said: “It is our hope that this initiative will put an end to the long-standing dispute between Federal and Lagos State Governments over the Federal Government disused lands and buildings and disputed quarters in various parts of the State which are no longer in use for the purposes for which they were originally released to the Federal Government “We are hopeful that this report will get favorable response from the Federal Government especially given the fact that the Honourable Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) was a passionate advocate of this issue during his tenure as the Governor of Lagos State and is also now a representative of Lagos State in the Federal Cabinet.” Besides, Governor Ambode directed members of the Committee to move further by mediating between the State and the Federal Government on how the assets would be released to Lagos State.

40 alleged illegal shops demolished at Alaba International Market



...As traders, church trade blames
About 40 shops located along GBO road inside Alaba Inter­national Market had been de­molished by agents of the Lagos state Ministry of the Environment (MoE), as traders and Church trade blames.
Narrating the incidence to The AUTHORITY, an official of the GBO Market Union, who prefers to re­main anonymous, said the demoli­tion was a surprise because the shops were approved by the Ojo local gov­ernment, owners of the market.
The official said the road along which the shops were constructed was itself constructed by the market union with the approval of the Lo­cal Government. He explained that the government authorized the un­ion to construct, maintain, manage and collect toll on the road.
Following indiscriminate dump­ing of refuse and urinating beside the road, he said government authorized the union to put up shops beside the road to checkmate the unhealthy be­havior. This, he posited, was the rea­son for the emergence of the shops.
Our source pointed accusing fin­gers at the authorities of St. Peter’s Anglican Church, who shares a com­mon boarder with the said shops. He believes the church has a hand in what happened to the shops.
Asked why he thinks so, he said that on learning that the union was about to build shops there, the church quickly pulled down its fence and start­ed construction of shops there to beat the union to the game.
The church and the un­ion, he said, have been at loggerheads ever since the union went ahead to put up the shops even when the shops did not encroach on the church property. “The church did not hide its dis­pleasure when we put up the shops and I think they must have influenced this demo­lition,” he declared.
Nonetheless, when The AUTHORITY contacted the Vicar of the church, Venera­ble Reginald Okpara, he ve­hemently denied the alle­gation. Venerable Okpara, who is also the Archdeacon of the Ojo – Alaba Archdea­conry said that what hap­pened is not the handiwork of the church at all. He said he was aware that officials of the MoE had been coming around to inspect the area.
On some occasions, he said, the officials even met with the Chairman, though, he said, he wouldn’t know the details of what tran­spired between them and the chairman.
