Ladipo Market remains closed, Lagos govt insists
THE Lagos State government, yesterday, insisted that the Ladipo Market has not been re-opened, noting that it was yet to perfect some environmental and safety conditions required before recommencing business activities. Managing Director of the Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, clarified that the market remained closed because it observed that its management failed to meet the stipulated mandatory safety and environmental measures earlier outlined by the authority. Gbadegesin said: "Our primary concern is the safety of the people and environmental well-being at marketplaces. "Reopening is contingent upon strict adherence to the safety conditions set forth by LAWMA. All necessary precautions must be taken to prevent any potential risks."
