Lagos food markets and non-food markets are to resume full operations.

With the approval by the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwoolu, on Tuesday, the markets are now to open daily.

Recall that the markets were shut due to the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic eight months ago and subsequently, reopened partially on alternative days arrangement.

The Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Dr Wale Ahmed, explained that the governor took the decision to further enhance trade and commerce and mitigate the hardship of recent times and ensure that residents could recover fast.

Besides, the state government, however, advised operators to continue to observe all safety protocols to prevent possible resurgence of the pandemic in the state.

 According to it, traders and their customers must adhere strictly to the COVID-19 protocols for their safety and the citizenry at large.
