The Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources revealed it has sealed the Ladipo market in the Mushin area of the state.
According to the Commissioner, Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, the market was “sealed for several environmental offences, including reckless waste disposal, unhygienic premises, and non-payment of waste bills, among others.”
He stressed that the market would remain closed until the mandatory conditions of redress were met by traders and market stakeholders, adding that it was part of ongoing efforts at instilling compliance in markets around the state.
Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, who’s the Managing Director of Lagos Waste Management Authority, said that the closure was expected to allow for a thorough assessment of the environmental impact of the market’s activities and the implementation of necessary remedial measures.
Other markets already sealed under the current campaign of zero-tolerance for environmental infractions include Oyingbo, Alayabiagba, Oke-odo and several plazas around the Tejuosho market. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
