     The Lagos High Court has issued a restraining order to the Federal Registry in Ikoyi from conducting marriages, saying it was unconstitutional for the Federal Government to be usurping the power and duties of the State and Local Governments.
Delivering judgment on Suit No: FHC/L/CS/1760/16, Justice Chuka Austine Obiozor of the Lagos High Court reaffirmed that all Marriage Registries in the Local Government and Local Council Development Areas of Lagos State are the authentic and legally-binding government divisions established to carry out such functions.
Addressing a Press Conference on the development on Thursday, the Lagos State Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Mr. Muslim Folami said the Ministry will officially communicate the judgement to concerned stakeholders, especially the various Embassies in the State, stressing that the decision of the Court is supreme and is legally binding on all.
He added that the Press Conference was held in order to intimate the general public that all Marriages conducted and registered in any of the 20LGs and 37LCDAs are valid and in accordance with the Marriage Act.
According to him, the judgment would undoubtedly put a stop to the seeming perception of superiority of Ikoyi Marriage Registry over the Local Government Registries.
Folami said that the State government would explore every available platform to enlighten the generality of the citizens about the development, assuring that the Ministry will not hesitate to schedule a meeting with all the embassies in the State to enlighten them about the new judgement if the need arises.
“We are going to use every available platform in the five divisions across the State to sensitize our people and inform them about this latest development; From Epe to Ikorodu, Badagry, Ikeja and Lagos Island. The sensitization today is also a way of creating awareness and letting the people know of this latest development”.
He congratulated the  Management of the various Local Governments, specifically the Marriage Registrars in the LG/LCDAs, for their efforts and urged the members of the public to take cognizance of this landmark judgment by patronizing the legally approved Marriage Registries for the conduct of their Marriages.
In his remarks, the President of the Marriage Registrars in all the Local Government and Local Council Development Areas, Mr. Deji Sokeye, described the judgement as landmark, saying that the responsibilities of the LGAs/LCDAs has come back to them by the virtue of the law and as provided for in Section 30 (1) of the Marriage Act and Section 7 (5) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.He said the judgement would restore hope and confidence in the certificates already issued and those that will be awarded in future by the Registries.More photos below.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
