The Lagos State Government has ordered Local Government and other Local Government’s Marriage Certificate to comply with Court Order. According to the letter dated 30th June, 2017, signed by Grillio. H. O, with the reference number no MLG/LGA/C27/S.136/86 made available to Thenigerialawyer, the Lagos State Government has advised the LG/LCDA to suspend marriage proceedings. This is a follow up as a result of judgement delivered by a High Court in Lagos State. The State Government further advised the Registries to comply with the judgment and henceforth should issue Marriage Certificate as duly provided in the Marriage Act, which is Form ‘E’. The Government also directed Marriage Registrars to commence marriage proceedings in their respective LGs/LCDAs. They are advised as well to procure the new Marriage Certificate from the Ministry to ensure smooth running of the Registries. Thenigerialawyer recalls that Hon. Justice Ibironke Harrison of Lagos High Court, Igbosere division, Lagos declared Ikeja local government and other local governments’ marriage certificate unconstitutional, perpetually restrains them from further issuing “customized” marriage certificates. The Lagos High Court on Monday, 15th day of May 2017 delivered a judgement declaring the marriage certificates issued by all local governments in Nigeria illegal and unconstitutional while restraining them from further issuance of “Local Government Unified Marriage Certificate” to Nigerians. In a class action filed by Consumer Rights Lawyer, Olumide Babalola, Esq., against Ikeja Local Government(1st Defendant)- and Association of Local Governments of Nigeria(ALGON), (2nd Defendant)who were defendants in the suit, with Suit No. LD/1343GCM/16.
