Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu stated this at the launch of the maiden edition of the Eko-City Farmers’ Market held recently, noting that agriculture remained one of the main sectors through which his administration planned to achieve the objective of making Lagos a 21st century economy.

Represented by his deputy, Dr. Kadiri Hamzat, the governor noted that the initiative was conceived to offer greater market access to farmers and agribusiness men and women, insisting that the initiative will encourage more farmers and other new entrants into the sector thus creating more jobs and opportunity for Lagosians.

He described the Eko-City Farmers’ Market as an exceptional initiative aimed at providing a conducive, safe and well-structured environment where farmers can trade their farm produce directly to consumers at farm gate prices.

Speaking earlier, the Commissioner for Agriculture, Gbolahan Lawal, stated that the idea of the Eko City Farmers’ Market has its genesis from the outcome of the stakeholders’ summit the ministry held on September 11, 2019 wherein the issue of agricultural produce market and facilitating market linkage for farmers featured prominently in the discussion and subsequently the communiqué that emanated from the summit.
