Fact:
The claimant entered into contract with the defendants for the provision of gardening,
ground maintenance and household handymen to provide maintenance services at the various offices and residences of the defendants within the Lagos metropolis.
The contract lasted for one year before the defendants terminated it. The claimant
was aggrieved and filed a suit against the defendants at the Federal High Court,
Lagos Division alleging breach of contract and claiming the sum of N17,988,000,00
(Seventeen Million, Nine Hundred and Eighty Eight Thousand Naira) as damages.
After considering the claims, the court ordered the parties to address it on the
issue of jurisdiction. Consequently, the 1st defendant filed an application challenging
the jurisdiction of the court and urging the court to strike out the suit on the ground that the cause of action borders on simple contract which is outside the scope
and jurisdiction of the Federal High Court. The claimant opposed the application
and urged the court to assume jurisdiction.

The sole issue for determination is whether the court has jurisdiction to entertain
the suit.
