The Lagos State Government through the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has sealed the Oyingbo and Alayabiagba markets over environmental issues.
This came after several unsuccessful cautions to markets in Lagos marketplaces to avoid dirt and practice proper environmental hygiene.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources disclosed this on his official X (formerly Twitter) account.
He stated that other markets that risk imminent shut-down for improper waste disposal and sundry environmental infractions include: Tejuosho Model Market Phase 1, Ladipo Market in Mushin, Anjorin Market, Irewolede Plank Market, Idi-Araba Obele Market, Oni Baba Market, Oba Morufu International Market, formerly known as Ejigbo Market, Ijora 7UP Market, Okeafa Plank Market, Ifelodun Fruit Market, Amukoko, among others.
