The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has announced the re-opening of Oyingbo, Alamutu Ologede and Ile-Epo markets, which were recently closed for filthy environment, poor waste collection and dirty environs.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, who announced the re-opening of the markets, noted the importance of stringent compliance measures in safeguarding public health and shielding residents against future health crises.

“Following extensive renovations and compliance measures including, the implementation of stringent conditions and a written mandatory undertaking for reopening, Ladipo Market, Oyingbo Market, Alamutu Ologede Market, and Ile-Epo Oke Odo Market, have been reopened today for business transactions”.

The LAWMA CEO emphasized that the re-opened markets had to comply with a set of mandatory conditions listed for them prior to resuming operations.

LAWMA however, said that the Ladipo market is yet to be re-opened as it is yet to perfect the safety and environmental conditions required.
