The Lagos State Government has sealed Oke-Afa market Isolo, and Katangua market Abule Egba, for violating disposal regulations, including sundry unhygienic practices around the markets.

Director, Public Affairs of the Lagos Waste Management Authority, Mrs Folashade Kadiri, who disclosed this in a statement, said the closures became expedient to curb mounting environmental health concerns.

Speaking on the development, the state commissioner for environment and Water resources, Tokunbo Wahab, reiterated the government’s zero tolerance for waste initiative, and assured residents that markets would remain sealed until stringent hygiene and waste disposal measures are implemented and compliance maintained.
