The Lagos State Government under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has shut down the Alaba International Market over poor waste disposal practices among others.
Alaba market’s shutdown followed the closure of several other markets in the state in recent times by the Waste Management Authority (LAWMA).
Commissioner for Environment, Tokunbo Wahab announced the shutdown of Alaba early on Monday on his X handle (formerly Twitter).
The government of the state 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 the Ladipo Auto Parts Market and other markets for environmental infractions.
“Alaba International Market, Ojo has been sealed up for poor waste disposal practices, failure to pay their waste bills, and gross environmental sanitation offences,” Wahab wrote on X.
