everyone.

The Commissioner for Information
and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde
announced to newsmen on Tuesday,
January 5, 2016 that the Lagos state
government has shut the Owonifari
market, in Oshodi/Isolo Local
Government Area.

Ayorinde said the government had to
shut the market, based on reports
that hoodlums were harassing
innocent Lagosians and most times,
robbing them at gun point.

He also said the affected traders
have been moved to the new
shopping complex at Isopakodowo,
around Bolade area.

The government said the Owonifari
market will be reconstructed into a
befitting bus terminal with shelters
that meet the standard of a mega
city.

Ayorinde hinted that the state
government is undertaking a
beautification project, along Ilupeju
bypass to PWD/Ikeja GRA.

He also assured Lagosians that the
government will do its best to ensure
that the market is safe for everyone.
