The Lagos State Government has ordered the reopening of Mile 12 International Market following its closure last Friday.

The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, TOKUNBO WAHAB, said that the Lagos Government ordered the reopening of the popular market after a thorough assessment.

WAHAB added that the assessment covered various aspects of environmental compliance, waste management practices and general cleanliness within the market.

He stated that issues critical to the environment, public health and safety were not negotiable in any way.

WAHAB also explained that the government would not watch helplessly as those values were compromised and eroded by the conduct of a few people.
