Two weeks after, Lagos govt re-opens Ladipo, Oyingbo, other markets

The Lagos State Government has warned management of Ladipo, Oyingbo, Alamatu Ologede and Ile-Epo markets that they risk permanent closure if they fail to keep the markets clean.

According to Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, on his officially verified X handle, the market management should abide by environmental standards.

The markets were shutdown due to poor sanitary and environment conditions.

The state government said that the re-opening of these markets which were shut due to environmental issues, followed full compliance with requisite conditions.

“Ladipo, Oyingbo, Alamutu Ologede, and Ile Epo markets re-opened following full compliance with requisite conditions.

“Subsequent violations will attract permanent closure,” he said.
