According to him, “Alaba International Market has been sealed up for poor waste disposal practices, failure to pay their waste bills and gross environmental sanitation offences”.

This is the latest in the series of markets that had been shut down recently by the Lagos State Government amongst other operations like the demolition of illegal structures.
