After fulfilling the key requirements for reopening sealed markets, the Lagos State Government reopened Ladipo Market in Mushin.
The well-known spare parts market would resume operations after it was recently shut down for a number of environmental infractions, according to Tokunbo Wahab, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources.
According to the THEMES Plus agenda, which was the driving force behind the recent campaign to enforce strict compliance with waste management best practices across markets in the state, he observed that the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu prioritized the issue of a clean environment, public health, and safety.
Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, the Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA, reaffirmed the Authority’s dedication to environmental sustainability and public safety, particularly in markets and around commercial facilities, and emphasized that the aim was to ensure that all markets in Lagos State complied with established environmental rules, creating a safer and healthier working environment for buyers and sellers.
Gbadegesin urged the business community to assist the State Government in its efforts by strictly enforcing environmental regulations, as markets that broke them ran the risk of being permanently shut down.
