At this time that the need for healthy living has come to the front burner of many people in Lagos, a serious blow has come on people as the Fruit Market located at Ikosi Ketu has been brought down.
It will interest you to know that the prices in the fruit market are almost the same as bought in the hinterland. This has even made people coming from other states to buy these perishables with ease at this market. I am not sure this was put into consideration by the Lagos State Government while carrying out the demolition.
When various markets of this nature are brought down for reconstruction, it has been observed that these markets are overpriced and it will no more be affordable to the people at the lower rungs of society. It gets so exorbitant that the structures will be left empty. A good example is Tejuoso modern market which has joined the growing list of unoccupied buildings in Lagos.
