Press Release
Spaces for Change|S4C expresses deep concern about the unlawful demolitions in the Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State, which began on September 25, 2025, affecting a series of plazas, malls, shops, and other business premises. We demand justice for the unconstitutional destruction of several business premises in the Complex.
The demolitions selectively targeted a series of
buildings under the directive of the Lagos State Government, under the guise of
“(removing) illegal developments, structures without statutory approvals,
defective structures, and structures built on road setback and drainage”.
However, our team visited the demolition site yesterday, and findings reveal key facts that not only contradict the Lagos State Government’s position but also highlight grave injustices and economic sabotage.
