The Lagos State Government has sealed the Mile 12 International Market and the Owode Onirin Market due to environmental violations.
VerseNews gathered that the violation includes indiscriminate dumping and burning of refuse, filthy surroundings, and blocked drains.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, in a statement directed the Lagos Waste Management Agency and KAI to seal the markets.
Additionally, illegal parking and abandonment of trucks on the highway leading to the markets contributed to the decision.
“The reasons for sealing the markets are not unconnected with the indiscriminate dumping and burning of refuse, filthy environment, blocked and littered drains.
“The action also followed illegal and indiscriminate parking and abandonment of trucks on the highway leading to the two markets, impeding free flow of traffic,’’ the statement reads.
