| Owonifari Market was demolished wednesday |
The Lagos state government on Wednesday demolished the
Owonifari market at Oshodi. The market had been in existence for over 40 years.
The market had been previously closed to curb the security
challenges within the Oshodi metropolis. The demolition was supervised by the
Lagos state Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode with the Commissioner for
Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare also in attendance.
The State commissioner for Information, Steve Ayorinde, had
on Tuesday said the market will be closed down due to security challenges in
the area adding that this would enable the government to commence the transformation
of the Oshodi bus stop to an ultra modern bus terminal. The new bus terminus
will have new bus shelters that are befitting of a structured park in a mega
city.
Affected traders and
shop owners had been relocated to the new Isopakodowo market at Bolade Area of
Oshodi.
