Lagos state- Ambode has no plan to demolish Ladipo market

Lagos State Government, yesterday, assured traders at the Ladipo Market that it has no plan to demolish the market.

Early in the week, there were rumours  that the state government partially demolished some parts of the structures for the commencement of full demolition plans by the government.

At a media briefing in his Mushin office, the executive Secretary of the Council, Mr. Jide Bello said:
“Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has no plan to demolish the market, the local council developer only moved in to take ownership of the market, but we have no plan to demolish the market.”
According to Bello, the council’s plan as contained in an agreement earlier reached with the traders, was to redevelop the market in phases with construction lasting for a period of three to five months.
“Therefore, to commence the redevelopment plan, bulldozer of the developer moved in on Tuesday, business activities had continued in the Ladipo market unhindered and the traders are presently at their stalls carrying out their business transactions.”
He explained that the Local Government decided to redevelop the market due to its deplorable state,  which did not fit into the megacity plans of the state.

He said the Mushin Local Government intended to undertake the development of the market in phases and because of that, had not collected any form of rent from the traders in the market since the beginning of 2015.

He assured traders that current owners of stalls would be given priority as long as they can provide valid ownership papers once the construction is completed.

  10. APC and Ambode have no plans for Lagosians. The only plan they have is to keep using Lagos State to make money for themselves and cronies, and to empty the treasury of Lagos Stae Government. If I have my way, I will jail Ambode, Fashola and Bola Tinubu. They are rogues, very clever crooks. Lagos State Government is owing over 400 Billion Naira because of the APC thieves in Lagos.

    People keep thinking Fashola is not corrupt. He is very, very corrupt. He has not been exposed because at all cost APC have held power in Lagos. The moment a PDP government takes over and probe Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode, their crimes will make Chief Bode George seem like a pickpocket.

    While Sani Abacha was in power, no one had any idea the full extent of his stealing. Abacha was unmarked after he was dragged out of power. Tinubu stole more than Abacha. FACT. Tinubu has been "pickpocketing" and stealing before the days of Abacha, and Adam & Eve.

    A day will come that Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode will be exposed and jailed for the thieves they are.
