Lagos Waste Management Authority on Thursday shut the market over indiscriminate refuse dumping and refusal to patronise Private Sector Participation operators.
The Iyaloja of Oyingbo Market, Alhaja Sikirat Sule, told NAN that they have started cleaning up the market to facilitate the early reopening of the market by the state government.“The wastes are not from the market, residents living around the market come at night and dump their wastes along the road.
NAN reports that most shops in the market were under locks and keys on Friday while workers were busy cleaning up the area.“I sell tomatoes and I am really worried because it is perishable produce. “I never expected this because I pay as much as N500 /N1000 weekly and yet my shop has been closed down.
Mr Miracle Akanonu, who shops at the market regularly, expressed support for government’s action because “the market is too dirty”.Meanwhile, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tunji Bello, has warned that the State government would no longer condone the excesses of traders who had abandoned the market for the streets.
About time. A disaster, chaotic, persistent human and vehicular traffic obstructing a major link road to the island
