About iLagosCity
The independent, practical, and authoritative information portal for Lagos and Nigeria.
Our Mission
iLagosCity was founded with a clear vision: providing residents, expatriates, entrepreneurs, and international visitors with 100% verified, practical, and continuously updated guidance on administrative procedures, daily services, and life in Lagos.
Our Core Commitments
Verified Facts & Zero Speculation
All administrative data (FIRS/LIRS tax rates, CAC business rules, health requirements, emergency numbers) are cross-verified with official Nigerian laws and institutional sources.
100% Bilingual Parity
Every article, guide, and listing is published and maintained simultaneously in French and English to support local citizens, the African diaspora, and international travelers.
Actionable Practical Guidance
No vague jargon. We explain exactly where to go, which office counter to visit, required fees, and exact paperwork needed.
Our Primary Data Sources
iLagosCity is an editorial project just getting started: the content published so far is a technical skeleton, not yet a base of verified facts. Once real content production begins, we will rely exclusively on official publications from Nigerian institutions — each to be confirmed and sourced individually (exact name, abbreviation, official URL) before any real content goes live.
Candidate institution list, NOT YET VERIFIED — to confirm before publishing any content that relies on it:
- Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) — RESEARCH_REQUIRED
- Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) — RESEARCH_REQUIRED
- Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) — RESEARCH_REQUIRED
- Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) — RESEARCH_REQUIRED
- Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning & Urban Development — RESEARCH_REQUIRED
- Local Government Areas (LGA) councils of Lagos Metropolitan Area — RESEARCH_REQUIRED
Our Network
iLagosCity is part of a small family of independent, sister sites covering other West African capitals. Each site is edited separately by its own local team, but they share the same editorial standard: verified information, bilingual content, and practical guides.
