The Lagos State Government (LASG) has said that Ladipo Market has not been reopened, because it has yet perfected some environmental and safety conditions required before recommencing business activities.
Disclosed in a statement on Monday, the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) said that the reopened markets include Oyingbo, Ile Epo Oke-Odo and Alamutu markets.
Managing Director/CEO of Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, who made the clarification, insisted that Ladipo market remained closed because its management had yet fully met stipulated mandatory safety and environmental measures earlier outlined by the Authority.
His words, “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.”
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.
