The article titled “Caveat Emptor: Tafawa Balewa Square belongs to Lagos State” was published in The Guardian Newspaper on August 26, 2018 to alert the public on the true ownership of the Race Course, a property which the media publications show that the Federal Government of Nigeria is trying to place on the market stall for either sale or concession.
Without sounding repetitive, the Tafawa Balewa Square does not belong to the Federal Government of Nigeria and therefore, its right to dispose or concession it to a third party is non-existent and illegal. The letter which was written in Governor Henry McCullum’s handwriting was in response to a letter from the Queen’s Advocates Office dated October 13, 1897 which was passed through Dispatch Number 345 of 1897 in which he wrote and I quote “ Sir, I have the honour to report as follows on Ordinance No `Course” of Lagos.
All the above events transpired before Nigeria as a country came into being and existence in 1914. It is indeed most unfortunate that the Lagos Racecourse which transformed into the Independence square of Nigeria has been turned into a derelict babe of strive where economic priorities are allowed to overshadow historic importance.
Now they need to buy national properties with national stolen money. Selfish government and irresponsible
