Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has vowed to pull down all illegal structures at Ore market to ensure safer and more hygienic environment, Igbere TV reports.


Special Adviser to the Governor on Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, Olatunji Ifabiyi, said this on Wednesday during an inspection of Ore market in Odigbo Local Government Area of the state.

Mr Ifabiyi said that the state government had decided to take drastic measures to ensure that sanity was restored to the market.

“We are what we eat, they say. But it appears the market men and women at Ore Market are nonchalant towards hygiene.


“People have caused unnecessary expansion to the market by erecting all manners of illegal structures and thereby blocking free human and vehicular movements,” he said.

“Bottles are blocking the drains because of indiscriminate dumping of refuse which, in turn, generates bad odour and they are even displaying goods on outlet and inlet roads.”

Ifabiyi said that the visit was to sensitise the traders that “dirt breeds germs and germs breed diseases”, adding that it would no longer be business as usual.

Special Assistant to the Governor on Market Matters, Raji Sikiru, called on stakeholders to take care of the market, adding that the government would fast-track the rehabilitation of the market.

Babaloja of Ore Market, Temitope Ijimiga, in response thanked the special adviser for his visit and lauded the state government for its plans to develop the market.

The Iyaloja of the market, Eniola Ogunlana, said she was elated that the market would wear a new look soon.

She urged the traders to cooperate with task force officers to hasten the development and changes to the market.
