Alade Market
The Lagos State government has sealed the popular Alade Market in Onigbongbo LCDA in Ikeja.
Senior Special Assistant on New Media to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Jubril Gawat, made this known on his X account on Wednesday.
According to Gawat, the market was sealed due to several environmental infractions such as a lack of waste bins, a filthy environment, and the illegal burning of refuse by the roadside.
Also, indiscriminate dumping of refuse and failure to comply with the rules of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) are other reasons for the closure.
Alade Market is the latest popular market in the state to be closed down due to environmental issues.
On Monday, the Alaba International Market, along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway was closed down.
Commissioner, Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Lagos State, Tokunbo Wahab said the market was sealed due to
poor waste disposal practices, failure to pay their waste bills, and gross environmental sanitation offences.
Meanwhile, Ladipo Market, Agbado Oke-Odo Market, Oyingbo Market, Alayabiagba Market, Alamutu (Ologede) Market, and sections of Tejuosho Market that were closed down have since been reopened.
