The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has dislodged traders engaged in roadside trading around Oyingbo Market and subsequently sealed the market for various environmental infractions.
The Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said the agency observed that, despite the closure of the market, some traders still engaged in roadside trading activities, in breach of environmental regulations.
Gbadegesin stated that the enforcement action underscored LAWMA’s commitment to fostering a sustainable and hygienic urban landscape for all residents, urging market operators to align with its standard.
The LAWMA boss said that Alamutu Market, Mushin, one of the recently shut markets, had been reopened after meeting stipulated conditions, adding that market operators, residents, and stakeholders, should work in tandem with the Authority, to ensure the collective achievement of a cleaner and healthier environment.
