Lagos CBD seeks cooperation of market associations on traffic, environmental issues
Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Central Business Districts, Hon. Mrs. Bola Olumegbon-Lawal, has called on the leadership of market associations within the Ikeja Business District to prevail on their members to comply with traffic and environment regulations within the business district.
Olumegbon-Lawal made the call at a meeting with the leadership of the computer village market association led by the Iyaloja, Mrs. Abisola Azeez Raolat.
Olumegbon-Lawal decried the various offences perpetrated by members of the association especially illegal conversion of roads to markets as well as allocating selling points to street traders, thereby obstructing vehicular movements.
This is contained in a statement by Deputy Director, CBD, Olaoye Olusegun, obtained on Saturday.
The special adviser urged the leadership of the associations to prevail on their members.
She said the appeal became necessary because of the belief that market associations in the state are critical stakeholders in finding lasting solutions to the traffic and environmental issues within the business district.
“We are aware that you are our partner in progress and a major stakeholder in finding a lasting solution to the traffic issues within the Ikeja Business District.
“We recognise that you have control over your members at the local level and I appeal to you to call them to order in ensuring that traffic situation within this axis improves,” she said.
She also called on street traders using the walkways and kerbs to display their goods as well as motorists parking under the bridges to desist from the practice.
She said the state would continue to impound vehicles and goods parked or displayed in unauthorised areas.
Olumegbon-Lawal stressed the present administration was poised to making life easy for residents, shoppers and traders within the Ikeja business district.
The government, she said, would not tolerate illegal activities of miscreants parading as “omonile” in any part of the business district.
She disclosed that nobody or group of individuals would be allowed to derail the developmental agenda of Lagos State as enshrined In the ‘’THEME PLUS’’ policy thrust of the state government.
The Iyaloja of Computer Village Market Association, Mrs. Abisola Azeez Raolat, responding on behalf of association pledged the commitment of members to comply with the traffic and environmental laws of the state.
She disclosed that the market association had already put in motion plan to sanitize the market and its vicinity to ensure free flow of vehicular movement in and out of the market.

Bandit leader who forced community to give him chieftaincy title, 2 other kingpins killed in Zamfara
Bandit leader who forced community to give him chieftaincy title, 2 other kingpins killed in Zamfara
Three bandit kingpins terrorizing Zamfara State, along with some of their fighters, have been killed by a joint security taskforce operating in the state.
According to security expert and counter insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, the bandit kingpins included Kachalla Mati, Jammo Baki, and a former police officer, Kachalla Yada.
In a post on X handle Saturday morning, Zagazola Makama said: “Update: Security Intelligence, in joint efforts with the Militia Joint Task Force, have neutralized 3 bandit kingpins in the North West on April 26, 2024.
The kingpins included Kachillaha Mati, Jammo Baki, and one other ex-police personnel, Kachallah Yada, as well as several other fighters in Tidibale in Gangara villages of ISA and Sabon Birnin LG Zamfara State.
Jammo was very dangerous and ruthless, to the extent that he forced the community to give him a chieftaincy title.
On the other hand, Kachallah Yadda, who was an ex-police officer, is in charge of training the bandit on weapons handling as well as illicit arms trafficking.
The ‘suyanization” of the three terrorists was a huge blow to the bandits in Zamfara State and a relief to the people of the North West.

This also got to show that the initiative of the Zamfara state government in collaboration with the security forces since it vowed to never negotiate with bandits but to crush them by any means is yielding positive results.
The recruitment of the Civilian Joint Task Force, popularly known as Askarawa, to go after the bandits in their enclaves and their hideouts was a major game changer.
Just like in the case of the North East, the worst nightmare of the bandits are the “Askarawa,” or Yansakai, as they are popularly called. This was because they have knowledge of the terrain and know the bandits who have in the past operated openly with impunity.
Within the past few months, the Askarawas have captured and killed hundreds of bandits, their informants, and collaborators. They have also recovered thousands of livestock rustled by the bandits, as well as rescued dozens of abducted victims.
This was why the pressure mounted on the bandits in both military, air, and ground offensives is forcing them to beg for “negotiations” through several videos on social media.”
Attempts by PlatinumPost reporters to confirm the killings of the terrorists by relevant security bodies have not yielded the desired results as of the time of filing this report.
