LAGOS STATE TO HOLD LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS IN 20 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILS AND 37 LCDAs

 LAGOS STATE TO HOLD LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS IN 20 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILS AND 37 LCDAs. 

In recent times, the leadership of APC in Lagos State has been inundated by the media, party members and other stakeholders on information about the conduct of the forthcoming Local Government elections , most especially if elections will hold in the 37 Local Council Development Areas - LCDAs, it has become expedient to clear the air on the needless and distractive speculation. 

We wish to inform all and sundry that the Local Government elections will hold across the state in the 20 Local Government Councils and the 37 Local Council Development Areas in the year 2025. 

Since their creation, the Local Council Development Areas have not only been the closest to the grassroots but also brought the desired developments across the state. 

We observed with keen interest the recent debates on the desirability of the existence of the LCDAs and the need to hold elections in their political offices. 

Our position as a progressive party is that we cannot discountenance the contributions of the LCDAs to the overall political and socio-economic development of the state.

The notion that passengers sitting at the back of a plane have a higher chance of survival during a crash is a topic of interest and debate. While it's essential to note that airplane crashes are rare and safety measures are continually improving, researchers have analyzed data from past crashes to identify potential trends.

A study published in 2015 by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) examined the survival rates of passengers in commercial airplane crashes between 1980 and 2009. The study found that passengers seated in the rear section of the plane (behind the wing) had a slightly higher survival rate compared to those seated in the front or over the wing.
