The Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria (CLASFON) Lagos
Branch has called on church leaders and Christians to submit
proposal for the public hearing on the Bill seeking to amend the
Lagos State Land Use Charge. This announcement which was made after
a church service was signed by Mr. Lawrence C. Nnoli the Chairman
of Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria (CLASFON)
The announcement reads:
The Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria (CLASFON) Lagos
Branch hereby informs the general public of the Lagos State Land
Use Charge (Amendment) Bill 2017 which seeks to repeal the Land Use
Charge Law of 2001. This bill has already passed second reading at
the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Despite the provisions made in the bill for the exemption of
religious bodies from being affected by the proposed amendments to
the Land Use Charge Law, the Speaker of the Lagos State House Of
Assembly, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa has on the contrary canvassed that
such exemptions are needless and therefore should not be because
according to him “most of the worship centres are making
money”

Branch hereby alerts all religious bodies of this development.
Following the agitations of some Christians against the statements
of the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, efforts were
successfully made to include CLASFON as an interested party that
will be invited for the public hearing of the bill which will
happen anytime soon and in view of this, Christians and especially
church leaderships are further enjoined to articulate their ideas
on the bill in writing and send same to
