The Lagos State government has announced the sealing of Ladipo Spare Parts Market along the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road (Apapa–Oshodi Expressway) over alleged repeated environmental infractions.
Tokunbo Wahab, commissioner for the environment and water resources, announced the development in a post shared on X on Sunday.
He wrote, “Lagos State government, this morning, sealed Ladipo Spare Parts Market along Murtala Muhammed International Airport Road (Apapa–Oshodi Expressway) over repeated environmental infractions; indiscriminate refuse disposal on the median/highway and illegal street trading. #ZeroToleranceLagos.”
The popular spare parts hub in Mushin was shut as part of the state’s ongoing enforcement drive to ensure compliance with environmental laws and discourage street trading and improper waste disposal.
The market has previously faced sanctions over similar issues.
Sunday’s sealing indicates renewed enforcement amid concerns over compliance at the market.
