A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State has ordered the state government to stop the planned relocation of timber dealers from the Okobaba Foreshore in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
The court’s ruling comes after the traders challenged the state government’s plan to relocate them to Agbowa-Ikosi without providing a suitable alternative location.
They, therefore, sought an order of injunction to restrain the state government from implementing their forceful eviction without developing the alternative location. Adegboruwa hailed the court’s decision as a victory for the rule of law and the rights of the affected traders. About 1.4 million Nigerians have been provided with electricity in underserved communities under the 2023 budgetary allocation, the Federal Government’s Rural Electricity Agency said, yesterday, in Abuja.
