LAGOS TRADITIONAL RULERS CALL FOR BIGGER ALLOWANCES AND A SEAT AT THE LOCAL COUNCIL TABLE

Lagos traditional rulers aren’t holding back—they want a bump in their allocations and sitting allowances, plus a juicy 5% cut from Local Government funds.

At their three-day retreat in Ikeja, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Shotobi emphasized their crucial role in peacekeeping and grassroots governance. He also pushed for the expansion of local councils from 37 to 57 and for a law crownin’ them official custodians of Lagos land. Clearly, these rulers want to be more than ceremonial—they’re after real stakes and stronger partnership with government to keep the city thriving.
