Nigeria's waterfront communities push back against evictions

Waterfront communities in Lagos are fighting back against repeated evictions, claiming the government is illegally displacing them to develop land that often ends up in the hands of the wealthy. These communities have secured a court order against unlawful evictions, yet residents continue to be forcibly removed. This pushback highlights broader issues of social justice and economic inequality in Nigeria, where marginalized communities frequently bear the brunt of urban development plans that favor the affluent. The struggle underscores the need for fair, transparent land management policies.
