Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN)
By Ademola Adeyemo
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), has set up a
committee to investigate all issues of persistent friction and
intransigence at the Ladipo Market with the aim of fostering
understanding between the government and the operators of the market.
Fashola at a meeting held with the new executive of Ndigbo Lagos, an
umbrella body of all Igbo organisations led by its President General,
Professor Anya O. Anya , last week restated the commitment of his
administration in providing a conducive atmosphere for all residents in
the state to carry out their legitimate businesses.
Also, in a release signed by the Publicity Secretary of Ndigbo Lagos,
Chuma Igwe, and made available to THISDAY, the group, while making a
passionate plea for the reopening of Ladipo Market, also condemned
what it called “deficit of good conduct and orderliness by operators in
the market.”
According to the release “On grievances and complaints by resident
non-indigenes of high handedness by the government’s law enforcement
agents, the governor expressed confidence on the grievance handling
structures and procedures in the State and enjoined Ndigbo-in-Lagos and
indeed all Lagos citizens to take advantage of these structures
whenever they have complaints and condemned any paranoid suspicion and
resort to self-help”
The group, however, lauded the governor for his exemplary dedication to
crime fighting and development and encouraged him to continue on his
laudable path of more inclusiveness in the creation of employment and
enjoyment of economic opportunities
