A Brief History of Lagos Island LG
Lagos Island Local Government today came out of what was known as the Lagos Town Council. The evolution from the colonial era has today transformed what is widely regarded to be the Premier Local Government into a modern city with all the attendant infrastructure transformations.
What has evolved from the colonial era through enactment of the Lagos Local Government ordinance of November, 1950, when the first elected representatives was practiced today may have shrinked in size due to series of administrative and political changes, nonetheless the present day Lagos Island Local Government is more important and strategic to the economic, business, trade and merchandise activities in Nigeria and the West Coast of Africa. It remains the historical centre and commercial core of Lagos State and indeed Nigeria. It also remain a pivot of an ever expanding Lagos Mega City.
