The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) said on Friday that it might close Ladipo Market in Mushin, till further notice, if the waste situation continued unabated.

LAWMA’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Obinna Onyenali, said that the attention of the authority had been drawn to the unwholesome environmental practices being carried out by traders at the Ladipo Market.

Onyenali said that such practices had resulted to indiscriminate dumping of waste and degradation of the environment.

He said that the authority had, in recent times, doubled its efforts to ensure that business transactions in all Lagos markets were conducted in a clean and safe environment.

According to him, the authority has doubled its efforts through timely deployment of trucks for waste evacuation and sweeping of the markets.

“However, these efforts are being tainted by the activities of mischievous persons who would rather dump their waste indiscriminately on the roads than patronise their assigned Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators.

“LAWMA condemns in strongest terms this unwholesome act, being perpetuated by the traders of Ladipo Market, as it exposes the environment and the people that do business there to various health dangers.

“The authority seizes this opportunity to urge the merchants at the market to turn a new leaf or face the consequences of the Law.

“If these heinous acts against the environment continue unabated, the market will be shut till further notice,” he said in a statement.

Onyenali said that LAWMA wanted all markets to comply with the Environmental Laws of the state, which was essential for building a cleaner and healthier environment that everyone would be proud of.

“The Authority appeals to all residents in the state to always imbibe the habit of effective waste management by bagging their waste for easy evacuation by their assigned PSPs,” he said.(NAN)

Of what use is the useless market to Lagos economy? I hope they shut Alaba so those people will know that Lagos is not a no man's land

Oladipo market n dirt are 5 n 6

Let those Igbo traders in Ladipo clean the place up and desist from messing the place up with engine oil.

You can turn your entire South East region into a pigsty like Ariaria Market in Aba but we won't condone nonsense in Lagos.

Wailers, gather here and cry like barren witches.

Because of waste, you want to do that? Una sure say no be as those shop owners welcome Peter obi lately na him want remake them politicise it. If I hear?

Why is that Yorubas have so much hatred for Igbos.

You guys don't seems to like each other for reasons beyond my understanding.

I know majority of Yorubas will not vote for Atiku not because they hate him but simply because of Peter Obi.

Sai Buhari

Shut that place down
Those flat head ipodpigs think they can mess lagos up like their potopoto republic

Hmm

Try it at a time like this and you will regret it

Nigeria government and lack of sense are 5&6. You have to do your job well first before shutting down.

STUPID IGBOS

In 2019...you are still making this blanket statement. You should rather abuse the traders in Ladipo rather than generalizing on a whole tribe.

The reason to parting Nigeria yet you end at not supporting it.

This is no longer 2face na multi. Pieces of a country.



All I have to say let both God and devil help Nigeria.

It will be resolved. Ladipo has contributed so much in Lagos State revenue. Concerned stakeholders will get to the bottom line to solve things amicably.


Stand out with other non-lazy youths to learn how to do design for M&E companies. Available training are HVAC, electrical, fire fighting and plumbing including Revit MEP. Check siggy for more details.

Good one.

It should even be destroyed and market privatize like Yaba.

Same should also be replicated in Trade Fair and road should be expanded to 32 lanes at Alaba international. So enough shops can be destroyed.

I pray dey closed it so IBO go back to were dey come from dey attack Yoruba and say we dirty yet dey are dirty pass us. sanwo olu is our man Baba buhari is our man

I am getting really annoyed with my YORUBA people for allowing Flat heads to run amock all over our land. This is our fvcking homeland and we are managing it so carelessly.
