According to a statement by the Assistant Director of Public Affairs for Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Hakeem Akinleye, on Friday, the popular market was shut after the traders failed to correct the infractions it raised in several notices by the government on sanitation.

The LAWMA Assistant Director, who highlighted the deplorable state of the environment within and around the Ladipo Market, stated that the infractions could not be overlooked due to flagrant acts of improper waste disposal that could aid an outbreak of disease across the state.

According to LAWMA, the market would remain shut until the traders turned a new leaf; that is, adhering to the environmental laws that were put in place to protect the environment and residents.

It, therefore, appealed to other markets and business centers in Lagos to shun indiscriminate dumping of refuse and other related environmental offenses to avoid suffering the same fate as Ladipo Market.
