    LADIPO MARKET

    Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has sealed the Ladipo market in the Mushin area of the state.

    Disclosing this on his X handle, the state Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said the market was “sealed for several environmental offences, including reckless waste disposal, unhygienic premises, and non-payment of waste bills, among others.”

    He added 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.

    The Managing Director of Lagos Waste Management Authority, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, 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.
