On Monday, the Lagos State Government said that Ladipo Market had not yet been reopened.
A press release issued by Director of Public Affairs, Mrs. Kadiri Folashade, stated that the market still needed to meet certain environmental and safety requirements before resuming business operations.
The market remained closed because it was discovered that its management had not fully complied with the mandatory safety and environmental measures earlier outlined by the Authority, according to Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, the Lagos Waste Management Authority’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, who provided the clarification.
“Our primary concern is the safety of the people and environmental well-being at marketplaces. Reopening is contingent upon strict adherence to the safety conditions set forth by LAWMA. It is imperative that all necessary precautions are taken to prevent any potential risks,” he said.
Gbadegesin added that while several markets had successfully met the outlined safety requirements and had been permitted to resume business, Ladipo Market would also be reopened to business activities, once it passed the requisite safety audit.
However, Oyingbo, Ile Epo Oke-Odo and Alamutu markets have all been reopened.
