Lagos state, Ladipo, Mushin markets indefinitely

Ladipo market

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The Lagos State Government has announced plans to shut down both Ladipo and Oyingbo markets in the state indefinitely by next week Thursday due to traders’ indiscriminate waste disposal.

The state government said that the move became imperative as it could no longer tolerate any more violations including reckless waste dumping, non-payment for waste services, and general poor waste management situation in these markets.

This was made known by the Managing Director of the Lagos State Waste Management Agency (LAWMA), Ibrahim Odumboni, who said that traders in both markets engaged in unwholesome environmental practices.

What the LAWMA Managing Director is saying

According to a statement from Folashade Kadiri, the spokesperson of LAWMA, Odumosu said that the unwholesome environmental practices by these traders continued in the markets despite repeated warnings from the agency.

The LAWMA boss said, “Our attention has been drawn to the deplorable state of the environment around Ladipo Market, Mushin and Oyingbo Market, resulting from reckless waste dumping by traders.

“Despite serving them abatement notices, they have continued the mindless environmental violation. We are left with no other choice than to evoke the necessary sanction of shutting down the markets. This is also meant to serve as a deterrent to other nonchalant markets.

“We have intensified our sanitation efforts by deploying trucks to clear black spots across the metropolis, especially business facilities.

“However, these efforts are being tainted by the activities of mischievous persons who would rather dump their waste indiscriminately on the roads, than pay for waste services.”

He urged traders in other markets to adhere strictly to environmental hygiene or risk indefinite closure of their markets.

What you should know

  • Recall that in a similar circumstance over a year ago, the Lagos State Government had shut down the Ladipo Market, in Mushin Local Government Area of the state indefinitely over the repeated contravention of environmental warnings against indiscriminate dumping of junk auto parts by traders

    Waste management is not just ABC. It needs application of engineering skills of designing, planning, construction, management and maintenance of a system that meets the waste disposal need of the entire population. This is the easier way to a successful waste management

    I’ll start with fact that ots Sherely shameful that in places with such ugly decadence going into years, that govt agency will come to say there attention was brought to. It strikes of how lazy and proud the tend to go about issue and how politics of true services don’t apply except in savage mode.

    For God’s sake when will traders in public markets imbibe the culture of clean environment? A visit to the Ladipo spare parts in Lagos has continued to be an eyesore for donkey’s years. The decision of the state government to close down the market and other similar dirty markets in the state is a right step in the right direction.

    I don’t think shuting down tbe market is the way forward with respect to the backdrop that will follow, at this time when the country is strugling with dwindling economy u want to shut down a major commercial entity as these? To what end? what happend to sanctions,and prosecution of defaulters. Definitely not every trader is guilty as charged

    Sincerely speaking, this is done with purpose else there are better ways to handle this matter. Lagos state government should say what they want because this action is targeted at OBIDATI’23 SUPPORTERS. If this is one of the price to pay to better Nigeria, we await the next.

    Have you been to Mile 12 Market before?
    That market is literally the dirtiest food market in the entire Lagos State. Why is government not shutting it down? Of course they won’t because its solely operated by the Northerners.
    My question is….why are these two markets the target? If truly its about Waste Management, the Mile 12 Market should be shut down first before any other market in Lagos. I know people will come and I’m sounding tribalistic. But bro, you and I knows I’m saying the fact.
