Sanwo-Olu, who spoke at a one-day seminar organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials on “Market Sanitation, Security and Safety for Market Leaders”, in Surulere division of Lagos State, charged the market stakeholders to join up in the system of intelligence gathering by divulging information of security threats to the appropriate channels.
“We have purposely included the security and safety of our markets as part of the topics at this seminar for obvious reasons that security is everybody’s business, and as market men and women and community leaders, we must be conscious of the need to make our security a priority. “When we see something, let us not only say something but do something to ensure that a potential security threat is nipped in the bud,” she said.
Sanwo-Olu said there must be proper identification of all traders and people trading in the market, saying that monitoring and evaluation of security activities in the market “must be a daily affair and also in every community.” She added: “As market men and women, you must take ownership of security in your markets, and you have to speak up and speak out loud and clear when you suspect any suspicious movement or activity around you.”This is just as she called on them to instill sanity in markets across Lagos, mentioning such was essential to take the profile of market situations in Lagos beyond the present state to meet international standards.
