In an effort to address poor waste disposal practices and other environmental sanitation offenses, the Lagos State Government has taken the decision to seal the Alaba International Market.
On social media platform X, the Commissioner for Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, announced this development on Monday.
Wahab stated that the market was closed due to its failure to adhere to proper waste disposal practices, failure to pay waste bills, and various other gross environmental sanitation offenses.
“Alaba International Market, Ojo, has been sealed off due to its poor waste disposal practices, failure to pay waste bills, and numerous gross environmental sanitation offenses,” Wahab wrote on X.
