Lagos: All markets now fully open
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved the full resumption of operations of both food markets and non-food markets.
As the economy was gradually reopened following the pandemic lockdown, Lagos allowed non-food markets to operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Food markets took the other days and the weekends.
They all can now open daily.
In a statement announcing this, the Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Wale Ahmed, said the governor took the decision to further enhance trade and commerce as well as mitigate the hardship of recent times and ensure that Lagosians can recover fast.
Dr Ahmed pointed out that Mr Governor also advised the continued observance of all safety protocols.
He noted that traders and their customers must adhere strictly to the covid 19 protocols for their safety and the citizenry at large.
