The Commissioner for the Environment, Dr Babatunde Adejare revealed that plans are on the way to cancel restriction during the monthly environmental sanitation in the state by the end of the year.

The commissioner added that the state had issued a seven-day notice with effect from Thursday to some markets across the state for violating environmental laws.

Itafaji


Oke-Odo


Sangrouse


Bariga


Ajah Ultra-Modern


Agbalaka


Aiyetoro


Sabo and


Ita-elewa in Ikorodu



Adejare said the markets would be shut if the traders failed to comply with relevant laws regarding sanitation.

He also noted that illegal trading in some of the markets, on the highways, walkways and setbacks, if not checked, could further compound the traffic problem in the state.

“Off-loading of goods and market activities are strictly to take place henceforth only within the markets,’’ he said.

He also appealed to illegal traders around the new Oyingbo market, who had been given space inside the new market by the state government, to make use of the ultra-modern facility responsibly and stop trading outside the premises of the market.
