Lagos Shuts Mile 12 Market Over Poor Sanitation by adewasco2k(m): 8:12am On Feb 02, 2012 |
By Olasunkanmi Akoni & Monsur Olowoopejo LAGOS — Lagos State Government, Wednessday, sealed the popular Mile 12 market, in Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area, LCDA, over various environmental offences. Similarly, the state government has threatened to shut Oko Oba Abattoir and Lairage in Agege Local Government Area, if the unhygienic practices and non compliance with the relevant laws governing meat slaughtering continued. It also inaugurated a 17-man task force committee on the abattoir and animal markets in the state with the aim of ensuring wholesome practices. On the Mile 12 market closure, men of the state Environmental Taskforce on Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Agency stormed the market in the early hours of yesterday and shut it. The state Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, explained that the closure became necessary following failure by the market leaders to comply with the state government directives of ensuring sanity in the market. Bello listed three environmental offences committed by the traders to include lack of ability to control drivers of lorries, who discharge foodstuff, that is, lack of traffic discipline; poor sanitary condition of the market and indiscriminate parking by customers on the highway, among others. He said: “We had a stakeholders’ meeting with the market leaders earlier where they promised to comply with the directive, but after giving them a specified period of time without any improvement, the state government had to move in to save the deteriorating situation of the moment.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/02/lagos-shuts-mile-12-market-over-poor-sanitation/ |

This is a welcome development. That market contribute to the terrible traffic on ikorodu road on a daily basis. I think the state gov't should relocate the market or help upgrade it. |

alj harem: So the government should compensate and reward you to clean up your own shop where you make a living and where you have been selling dirty and contaminated food to your fellow citizens? Some of you think you are smart, but you end up sounding ridiculously silly and senseless. |
Re: Lagos Shuts Mile 12 Market Over Poor Sanitation by ziga: 7:54am On Feb 03, 2012 |
alj harem: Alhaji. Why should the Governor pay compensation The market is a public space where private organizations conduct business. If it becomes dirty and unkempt, it becomes a public health hazard for the state. In order to prevent unnecessary spread of diseases as a result of the poor sanitary habits of the occupants, it should be shut down. And the offenders should be made to pay fines for endangering the lives of other Nigerians!!! And not the other way around. Nigerians need to learn their own responsibilities to the environment. Haba!!! |
