“Alaba International Market, Ojo, has been sealed up for poor waste disposal practices, failure to pay their waste bills, and gross environmental sanitation offenses,”, the Commissioner stated.
The closure is the latest in the closure of markets and the demolition of illegal structures by the Lagos State Government.
The Lagos government recently sealed but later reopened the Mile 12 International Market. The Owode Onirin Market, along Ikorodu Road, also faced a similar fate for indiscriminate waste disposal.
The Lagos State Government had equally shut down the Ladipo Auto Parts Market and other markets for environmental infractions.
