NECA decries closure of Lagos factories over land dispute

The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) has raised concerns over the closure of manufacturing and commercial facilities in Lagos State due to a land dispute, which led to the enforcement of a warrant of possession by the Lagos State High Court Sheriff’s Department on 30 July 2026. NECA emphasized the need for urgent collaboration between federal and state governments to find an interim solution that protects jobs, investments, and industrial activity. The affected area is part of the Lagos-Ogun industrial axis, contributing over 50% of Nigeria’s industrial output, highlighting the national economic impact of the disruptions. NECA warned that prolonged closures risk undermining Nigeria’s industrialization efforts and economic recovery, especially amidst existing challenges like high energy costs and weak consumer demand.
