Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state on Tuesday ordered the full reopening of markets across Lagos following the reduction in COVID-19 cases.
The markets have operated partially to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic but will now reopen for full business on a daily basis.
Local Government and Community Affairs Commissioner Dr. Wale Ahmed said in a statement: “Governor Sanwo-Olu took the decision to further enhance trade and commerce, mitigate the hardship of recent times and ensure that Lagosians recover fast.”
The commissioner said the governor, however, advised the continued observance of COVID-19 safety protocols.
He noted that traders and their customers should adhere to the COVID-19 protocols for their safety.
