Photos: Gov Fashola visits burnt section of Balogun market

Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola earlier today paid a visit to the section of Balogun market that was gutted by fire yesterday January 12th. While sympathizing with the traders, the governor advised them to insure their properties so that in situations such as a fire outbreaks, their insurance would cover their losses. More pics after the cut...

      On Gbajumo street there are these sheds along the road. Right on the road...these sheds are semi permanent structures cemented onto the road. Gbajumo was partly affected as its a street behind Balogun and those affected houses could have been salvaged much earlier if the Fire Engines could access the road.
      Shop owners on Gbajumo have lobbied and petitioned tire. No hope, I pray this incident will open the governments eyes to the risk involved in a lack of thoroughfare especially in a place of heavy congestion as found on Lagos Island. Its not about the revenue please, lives and property are also of importance Mr Governor and Government.

      I ve always said that the average ibo is too uncivilized, primordial and unsociable to be part of a society. An example is this ibo boy(Eze). What sort of question did he just ask. Anyway, your ancestors lived in a society where every man is an 'Obi' in his compound so I do not expect you to understand the meaning of commiserate.

      Thank you my sister. Whenever they want to take over a market, they first burn it down. Then they will take over and construct another one that will be waaaaaay out of the reach of the former occupants. Why is it that fire keeps moving from one market to another. Just be watchful and see what will happen to this market. People are just too gullible and are being taken for a ride.

      Very true. Sabotage, clear and simple. See what happened to yaba market. The same trend, now they built a huge plaza there that's too expensive for marketers to acquire, only the rich women. Such a shame. Mac10...
