The Lagos State Government has ordered the immediate closure of Ajah Market following multiple violations of environmental regulations. Authorities cited concerns over poor waste management and unsanitary conditions that pose significant risks to public health and the environment.
In a statement, the government emphasized its commitment to ensuring clean and safe markets across Lagos and warned that such infractions would not be tolerated. The closure aims to compel market operators and traders to adhere strictly to environmental guidelines before resuming operations.
Residents and market users have expressed mixed reactions, with some supporting the move for a cleaner environment, while others worry about the economic impact on traders.
Officials have assured that efforts are underway to sanitize the market and address the infractions, with a plan for reopening once compliance is met.
