Nwankwo in a
telephone conversation with our correspondent disclosed that LACEC is leaving
no stone unturned in order to ensure that the market is opened without further
delay.
He said that
the market has met almost all the conditions required for the market to be
opened by the Lagos State Government.
Nwankwo
advised Ladipo business community to remain patient and law abiding, assuring
them that the market will be opened before the week runs out.
He said “My
advice to Ladipo business community is for them to remain patient and law
abiding, when you are dealing with government you should be patient, before this
week runs out, the market will be opened by the grace of God.
He also
encouraged them to ensure the market is kept clean always. “Beside, when they
open the market, they should endeavour to keep the market clean, at least if
the environment is clean, it will enable more customers to come and patronize
them. We are law-abiding citizens in Lagos State,” Nwankwo stated.
Assuring the
traders of the commitment and steadfastness of the central executive to ensure
the market is opened Nwankwo disclosed that out of the N17million demanded to
be paid by the market, the sum of N16.5millon has been paid.
He pleaded
with the Lagos State Government to open the market as the traders are bread
winners to thousands of families, adding that this period is a new academic
session, many of the traders have children who could not go back to school as a
result of the ripple effect of locking of the market.
Recall that
the Lagos State Waste Management Agency (LAWMA) has recently sealed Ladipo Auto
Market over environmental infractions which included double parking of
vehicles, dirty environment and unpaid LAWMA bills.
