The Lagos State Government on Monday, 16th of October, 2023, ordered the reopening of Mile 12 International Market after it was sealed on Friday, 13th of October, 2023.
This was disclosed by the state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, where he said the market was reopened after a thorough assessment, covering various aspects of environmental compliance, waste management practices, and general cleanliness within the market.
He noted that issues critical to the environment, public health and safety, were not negotiable, as government would not watch helplessly as those values were compromised and eroded by the conduct of few people.
“We cannot continue to be nonchalant about our environment. Our negative attitude towards the environment must stop. “
