Lagos State Closes Oshodi Market Over Insecurity.


Lagos State Government yesterday shut down Owonifari
market in the Oshodi, Oshodi/Isolo Local Government,
aimed at addressing the security challenges in the area.

Lagos State Government often arrested hoodlums in Oshodi
for various robberies and other petty incidents. Commissioner
for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, lamented
that the market has constituted a menace and an eyesore
to the locality.

He added that they have relocated affected traders and
shop owners to the newly built Isopakodowo market stalls
at Bolade area in Oshodi. The government has also started
fencing-off of the set-back on Agege Motor Road that
stretches from Ilupeju end of Oshodi all the way to the
PWD/Ikeja GRA end of the area.

He said that the fencing-off of the long stretch of the
set-back is being undertaken to assist the Federal Government
and the Nigerian Railway Corporation in particular with a view
to beautifying it and safeguard lives along the railway corridor
by discouraging street trading and indiscriminate use of the space.

In the statement, Ayorinde added that the Owonifari loop will
be transformed into an ultra modern bus terminus with new bus
shelters that are befitting of a structured park in a mega city.

He stated further that Oshodi will be sane and safe and a place
where both traders and commuters would be pleased to visit
and trade.
