The Lagos State Government has announced the reopening of five markets in the Mushin area of the state.
According to a statement released Friday, the markets were temporarily shut down due to “environmental infractions, including indiscriminate waste dumping.”
Mushin main market, Ojuwoye, Awolowo, Irepodun, and Daleko markets are the five reopened markets.
Tokunbo Wahab, the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, also explained why the state government opted to temporarily close the markets, stating that it was necessary.
