Corps Marshal of the Agency, Major Olaniyi Olatunbosun Cole (rtd) said this at the Agency’s Command Headquarters, in Bolade-Oshodi.

The agency’s top official decried the unimpressive level of hygiene at the market which he described as capable of causing illnesses and disease outbreaks.
He also implored markets across the State to maintain an acceptable level of hygiene saying any market found erring will be sealed off until total compliance is achieved.
He also added that the display of wares for sale on road setbacks, lay-bys, medians, which constitute street trading and hawking remains banned in the metropolis.
