The Alumni Association of the International Visitors Leadership Programme of the U.S Consulate in Nigeria on Thursday embarked on the cleanup of the Alamutu Market in Mushin, Lagos.
In addition to cleaning of the market, the group sensitised the traders on waste management, waste separation, recycling, and upcycling. “Cleaning our markets is one of the things we have added to our line of events. Going around Lagos markets, we see that people come a lot, but we see a lot of dirts around,” said Mrs Tade.
They were also trained on how to convert some waste materials into useful items in the market, such as chairs made from plastic bottles., said advocacy for a cleaner and better environment is essential.“If the market is dirty and we hear a lot of diseases here and there, there is an ever-increasing concern about how diseases can be transmitted from the market into individual homes.”
