Officials of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit have taken decisive action against Alaba International Market, Ojo.
The operation took place during the early hours of Monday, and was revealed through an official statement posted by Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab.
Commissioner Wahab disclosed that the renowned Alaba International Market had been sealed due to a combination of serious environmental violations.
The primary reasons cited for this action were the market’s poor waste disposal practices, failure to settle outstanding waste bills, and a host of gross environmental sanitation offences.
Recall that Ladipo Market in Mushin was reopened after being close for various environmental infractions.
