GRANT LAGOS SPECIAL STATUS, CAIDOV APPEALS.

-




The federal government and the national assembly have been called upon to as a matter of urgency grant the former Capital territory of the country, Lagos , a special status and that special fund must be set aside to take care of it. 


This appeal was made on Saturday by the centre against injustice and domestic violence (CAIDOV) in a press release issued and signed by its Executive Director, Comrade Gbenga Soloki where he condemned the wanton looting that characterised the endsars protests,urging government that a special status for Lagos will enable the government of Lagos to take up some of the challenges abdicated by the federal government for the state.  


The CAIDOV boss further disclosed that Lagos being the economic hub of the country deserves to be specially treated and a special amount set aside to take care of some responsibilities left for the state by the federal government.   


According to the CAIDOV boss" we want to call on the federal government and the national assembly to consider granting Lagos special status as a former capital of the country.  That's what is obtainable all over the world.  It's a statement of fact that so many of the infrastructure left by the federal government are scattered all over the state with the attendant pressure on the state. It's only fit and proper that such a state that harbours virtually every tribe in Nigeria deserves special status and also a special grant to support the state.  "



Furthermore" in other countries of the world, where capital cities have been moved, the former capitals are given special status, so ours shouldn't be an exception. "
