The ongoing demolition in Makoko community has been put on hold following a meeting held between the community representatives and the Lagos State Government. Authorities also indicated that discussions around compensation and next steps for affected residents will continue.
The decision followed a meeting held today, Tuesday, February 3, 2026, where Makoko representatives laid out grievances over displacement, loss of homes, and the impact of the demolitions on daily life. Residents say the pause offers temporary relief as they await clearer plans for resettlement and compensation.
