Your essential guide to the historic city of Badagry and Badagry Division, Lagos State. CityMood, an urbane-styled community magazine, debuts in May 2010.

Its objectives include the celebration of the people, being a symbol and propagator of their pride and a veritable platform for information dissemination. CityMood aims a

t serving as social engineering machinery that will stimulate the socio-economic development of its catchment area. At just nine months of production, on 25th December 2010, CityMood was awarded by BVEC as “Best Badagry Magazine of the Year 2010”. And just recently, on 1st October 2011, Freedom Founders awarded CityMood as ‘Magazine of the Year 2011”The first of its kind awarded to any community magazine along the Badagry corridor. This award, no doubt, cannot be dissociated from the fact that CityMood has the humble privilege of being the first all-gloss and all-colored news publication from this side of the country and perhaps for its spontaneous progression from a 16page publication to an average of 60pages within a period of just about 18months in circulation.

It described the gesture as a demonstration of compassion and said it reflected the impact of collaboration between faith-based organisations and public institutions in addressing humanitarian challenges.

The ministry disclosed that since the evacuation exercise began on 10th June 2026, a total of 1,640 Nigerians have returned from South Africa, with the Federal Government sponsoring 1,385 of them, while philanthropic donations covered the remaining 255.

The Lagos State Government has made registration with the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) compulsory for the enrolment of learners in all public and private schools across the state, beginning with the 2026/2027 academic session. From Monday 14th September 2026, schools will be required to obtain and record every learner's valid LASRRA registration number during admission.

According to the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Tolani Alli-Balogun, the directive is aimed at creating a comprehensive and verifiable database of learners to improve planning, monitoring and service delivery in the education sector. Schools have also been directed to sensitise parents and guardians and encourage those whose children are yet to register to complete the process before the new academic session begins.

The Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) said it would work with LASRRA to provide registration, verification and sensitisation support, while compliance would form part of its monitoring activities across public and private schools. The government also reminded residents that LASRRA registration is free and urged them to report any agent demanding payment.

The Badagry West Local Council Development Area has described its retiring Council Manager, Engr. Lawrence Kayode Akande, as a public servant who served with “humility, generosity and a strong sense of responsibility” as he bows out after 35 years in the public service.

The recognition comes as Akande marks his birthday, with the Chairman of Badagry West LCDA, Mr. Rauf Ibrahim Kayode Yemaren, leading members of the cabinet, councillors and management in honouring the retiring administrator.

In a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary/S.A TAC to the Chairman, Solomon Zosu, the council said Akande's 35-year career reflected dedication, professionalism and commitment to duty.

According to the statement, his wealth of experience and administrative expertise contributed to the effective running of Badagry West LCDA and the implementation of developmental initiatives across the council area.

The council also credited Akande with building cordial relationships with staff, residents and stakeholders throughout his years of service, while providing support to successive administrations.

The statement said his contributions to the growth and development of the council would remain part of the institution's history as he brings his public service career to a close.

An indigene of Ikoga in Badagry Local Government Area, Akande is retiring as a son of Badagry whose career has spanned more than three decades in public service.

Two years after her passing, the memory of Oluwaseyi Dorcas Bababusola continues to live on in the hearts of many people whose lives she touched.

Seyi was remembered as a compassionate young woman who devoted herself to service, particularly through efforts aimed at supporting the less privileged, empowering young people and bringing hope to vulnerable members of the Badagry community and beyond.

Her commitment to humanity, kindness and selfless service created an impact that went beyond her lifetime. Though she is no longer here, the lives she touched and the values she represented remain a lasting testament to the person she was.

As family, friends and members of the community reflect on her life two years after her passing, they remember a young woman whose desire to make a positive difference will not be forgotten.

Today, we celebrate the beautiful memories she left behind and honour a legacy built on compassion, service and love for humanity.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

Rest on peacefully, Oluwaseyi Bababusola.
