Ambode Reopens Mile 12 Market by spora(m): 10:37am On Mar 17, 2016


Akinwunmi Ambode, governor of Lagos state, has ordered the reopening of Mile 12 market, along Ikorodu road.

The market was closed on March 3 following a bloody communal clash between traders.

However, Steve Ayorinde, commissioner for information, said the governor ordered reopening of the market on Thursday after meeting with “relevant stakeholders”.

“Governor Akinwunmi Ambode this morning has ordered the reopening of Mile 12 market…after stakeholders assured him of peace and order,” he said in a statement.

Ayorinde quoted the governor as saying that the market had outgrown its present location and would be relocated ultimately.

“Realizing the strong need to move the popular Mile 12 Market from its present location, community leaders and traders in the area have agreed with the plan of the state government to relocate the market to another suitable and more convenient location within the state,” the statement read.

“The leaders and traders also consented to the ban on use of commercial motorcycle popularly called Okada as a means of commercial transportation in the area.

“The community leaders said the decision became imperative owing to the fact that the Mile 12 Market, which had been in existence for decades, has outgrown its present location and available infrastructure, hence the need to reason with government.”

Shehu Usman, financial secretary of Mile 12 market, said the market leaders “agreed with government on four measures to be adopted going forward which included ban on Okada operations in the area, relocation of Mile 12 Market”.

The briefing was attended by community leaders, Mile 12 market leaders, and government officials led by Tunji Bello, secretary to the state government.

Bello said the government will finalise plans on the new location and time frame when the traders will be relocated, adding that government will compensate those with genuine claim of destroyed properties.

The communal clash broke out in the first week of March, leading to loss of lives and destruction of properties.

Obviously heeding to the order of the ACF....

So after unleashing mayhem on the peaceful and cowardly Yorubas in mile 12, he still had to chicken in to the whim and caprices of the Hausas.

Chai..... slavery is not only when you are put on chains and transported via the desert

SW with its bad leadership.

That market should remain closed until 2020 but all they know is tax collection under various guises.

Let's hope its not true.

IPOB tout.
You hide under different cowardly monikers to write a lot of nonsense.
You have no information about the market, instead of keeping quiet, you rushed in here to write your usual gibberish to attract likes from deluded minds like you.
When you get 1,000 likes, go and use it to buy akpu and okra soup.

You must have made that up in your head from your abakiliki dirty room.
While the Hausas miscreants are begging everybody that can influence the govt to pardon them as they are presently dying of hunger.

You are a lunatic!
The Fulanis have apologised through their leader Mohammed Bambado. Only on NL and ibo media outlets did the abbboki have the upper hand.
Ambode fcccked up big time though.

Lets kill the Yorubas, burn their properties and later apologize.

Nothing will happen to the perpetrators since they are very forgiving and peaceful.

your line of thought is shallow and its pathetic, anyway, d market is for all Nig of different ethnic background,you can't divorce such misunderstanding in such a complex market, Lagos state govt acted swiftly on ds issue and happy dt d govt stated dt d market is for Nigerians and not for a particular tribe, so Mile 12 is back to function for all ....

To all the flat heads spewing trash, so because there was a riot, the government should close up the market for eternity. I wonder what you guys exchanged for your brains. mtcheew, hatred and bitterness will eat you up.
