The Lagos State Government has sealed the Ladipo Spare Parts Market, located along the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road (Apapa–Oshodi Expressway), over alleged repeated environmental violations.
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a post on his X account on Sunday, February 7.
According to Wahab, the market was shut down due to indiscriminate refuse disposal on the highway median and illegal street trading. He added that the action aligns with the state’s zero-tolerance stance on environmental infractions.
Ladipo Market has previously been closed on several occasions for similar environmental offences.
