Lagos faces housing strain and infrastructure projects as government extends tax deadline

Several developments are happening in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city. The government has extended the deadline for annual tax returns to February 7 and announced that the new Lagos-Calabar coastal highway will be a toll road.

Separately, reports show rents in Lagos and Abuja have surged by 20% annually, creating a housing strain. In other local news, police have begun arresting traffic offenders on the new coastal highway route, and poultry farmers say there is no egg scarcity in the city.
