The Lagos State House of Assembly has formally adopted the recommendations of its Committee on Rules and Business concerning a longstanding land dispute involving the Eyingbala family and the Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Ikorodu.
The resolution followed the presentation of the Committee’s report by the Majority Leader and Chairman of the Committee on Rules and Business, Mr. Noheem Adams, who outlined the findings and key recommendations before the House.
At the centre of the petition, titled “Notification of Decision to Carve Out Land for Regularizations from Lagos State University of Science and Technology Property Situated in Ikorodu,” is the directive that the Lagos State Government allocate 50 hectares of land within Ikorodu to the descendants of Segun Eyingbala as compensation.
The Committee established that the petitioners are the original customary owners of the disputed land, now situated within the premises of LASUSTECH, formerly known as Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH).
The land had previously been acquired by the State Government in overriding public interest.
In adopting the recommendations, lawmakers commended the Committee’s diligence and thoroughness, making its report the official resolution of the House.
