The Lagos Waste Management Authority has put business activities on hold at the popular Oyingbo Market over sundry environmental infractions. The Managing Director of LAWMA, Dr.

Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said in a statement on Thursday that the infractions included indiscriminate refuse dumping and refusal to patronise Private Sector Participation operators.

Gbadegesin said that an abatement notice and several warnings issued to the traders yielded no result, thus necessitating the closure. The LAWMA boss appealed to other markets in the state to imbibe the culture of effective waste disposal as markets whose activities are found detrimental to the health and environmental well being of the populace would be shut down until further notice.

“The act of indiscriminate refuse disposal in the city poses grave danger to public health and economic growth.
