“We urge the Honorable Chief Registrar to notify the officers expected from Abuja to refrain from attending.”
The statement also revealed that preparations for the 2026 budget were underway, with the council granting autonomy to the budget committees of the High Court, Customary Court of Appeal, and Judicial Service Commission.

Lagos resumes strict BRT lane enforcement on Eko, Odo Iya Alaro bridges 
Lagos State Government has announced that strict enforcement of Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, lanes will resume on Eko Bridge and Odo Iya Alaro Link Bridge effective Monday, October 6, 2025.
The exercise, which had been temporarily suspended on July 2, was put on hold to ease traffic congestion during rehabilitation works on the Ogudu–Ifako Bridge.
The bridge, a strategic connector between Ogudu and Ifako, underwent structural repairs on its expansion joints, leading to partial closures and prolonged traffic delays into Lagos Mainland.
In a statement on Wednesday, Tobi Idowu, Special Assistant to the Governor on Transport Education and Enforcement, explained that the enforcement aligns with the government’s broader traffic management strategy.
“Motorists are strongly advised to comply with this directive, as relevant agencies will strictly monitor and enforce adherence to the dedicated BRT corridors,” Idowu stated.
Officials had earlier described the suspension as a “transitional and conditional” measure aimed at reducing commuter stress during the repair period.
Also confirming the development on X (formerly Twitter), Jubril Gawat, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on New Media, wrote:
“Now that the Ogudu Bridge repairs have been fully completed and reopened, enforcement of BRT lanes on both Eko Bridge and Odo Iya Alaro will resume on Monday, October 6, 2025.”
DAILY POST reports that Ogudu–Ifako Bridge, which was reopened on Tuesday, was delivered in 78 days, well ahead of the 101-day timeline originally scheduled for the project.

National Arts Theatre: Give credit to Emefiele, Obasanjo – Sani tells Tinubu 
A former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has urged the administration of Bola Tinubu to accord some credit to former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele, for the completion of the National Arts Theatre, Igamu.
The federal government had in July 2024 renamed the National Art Theatre after literary icon, Wole Soyinka.
Sani, however, pointed out that two Nigerians deserve mention – former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Emefiele.
“The renaming of the National Arts Theatre, Iganmu to The Wole Soyinka Centre for Arts and creative Arts is commendable,” he wrote on X.
“Credit should be given to Obasanjo for building the edifice for the Festac 77 and appreciation to Mr Godwin Emefiele for mobilising the Bankers committee to renovate it back to life after decades of neglect,” the former Kaduna lawmaker added.
President Bola Tinubu had in July 2024 renamed the theatre ‘Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts’ in honour of Nigeria’s Nobel Laureate, a guest of honour at the event.
Tinubu, speaking on Wednesday during the commissioning of the edifice, said the rebirth of the theatre would strengthen the promotion of arts, culture and the creative economy in the country.
He said it was renamed the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts in recognition of the laureate’s contributions to literature, freedom and nation-building.

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has slammed Nigeria’s political parties, saying they are a major factor stalling the country’s growth 65 years after independence.
Falana spoke on a special broadcast on Channels Television to mark Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary.
He faulted the ‘winner-takes-all’ mentality of contemporary political parties, contrasting it with practices in the Second Republic.
The senior lawyer also said that there is no way power can be concentrated in the hands of the ruling party, stressing that it must share power with other constituencies.
“There must be proportional representation. The winner-takes-all system is part of the problems we face currently,” he said.
The elder statesman stated further that without an ideological base or orientation for political parties, corruption, impunity, and recklessness will continue.
