Lagos State Government reopened Alaba International Market and some markets at the Trade Fair Complex, Ojo, on Saturday. Government shut the markets earlier because of improper waste management and other environmental infractions. Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, said the markets were reopened after the environmental issues had been addressed.
“I state emphatically that the closure of those markets had no ethnic or political motives as it was done to ensure cleanliness and environmental sustainability for the good of all residents. He said the enforcement would be continuous as government would not hesitate to seal any market or corporate facility found wanting.
“These include proper waste management, zero tolerance for open burning of waste and zero tolerance for dumping of wastes in the drainage channels.
