Majority of the lawmakers at the Lagos State House of Assembly have supported the Market Authority Bill currently being considered by the parliament.
The bill aims to provide for the registration, formation, organisation and operation of market operations in the State.
House Committee Chairman on Local Government Affairs, Sanni Okanlawon, said the bill tries to address some anomalies in the extant law and would make it mandatory for all markets to be duly registered.
Also speaking, Aro Moshood stressed that the bill will also ensure the cleanliness of markets, their effective management, and the removal of gridlock caused by traders’ and buyers’ activities.
