By Araba, Olawale Enifenilanfe:

The Ikorodu garage night market traders, selling on the highway and under electricity high tension are visibly open to highway and electricity high tension risk taking for daily source of living. This night market station from benson bus-stop through Ikorodu garage roundabout, some of them shed on the walkways, while some on the highways which mostly lead to decongestion of road for the people coming from Lagos to their various destination.

To avoid the loss of lives and properties, the heartfelt people of Ikorodu division has suggested to notify the Executive Chairman of Ikorodu Local Government, Hon. Wasiu Ayodeji Adesina on why he should intervene through making use of his respected office against the risk taking by the night market traders hawkers on the highway and under high tension.

Once beating, twice shy; it was unaware when electricity high tension exploded some years back at Ikorodu garage which affected allot of lives and properties due to negligence, we don’t pray for such incident to repeat itself again. So, to avoid such incidents, road accidents, and inappropriate functions of marketing; kindly stay safe and protected from danger.  

In an interview with Iya Oloja Allison-Owolowo-Amuludun market duly represented by Alhaja Sekinat Shoneye, said; initially the market was established to be morning market, but the rampant development and developing of the city has increases more residents/population which makes it gradually shifted to 3pm to serve the corporate workers closing by 4pm daily as their target audience during the working days in a week. “The market centered within the aforesaid environs (Allison-Owolowo-Amuludun) start by 3pm and close by 10:30-11:30pm daily”.

Alhaja Sekinat further expressed that “Most people selling and hawking on Ikorodu garage highway market does not reside in Ikorodu; some are from Oshodi, Ijede, Ishagamu, agbowa, Itokin, Ijebu-ode etc. “We have tried our possible best to chase them from the highway and under high tension, but they refused”, no coordination, everybody just come and shed; she emphasized.

She thereby advises the traders showcasing and selling on the highway/under electricity high tension should please endeavor to acquire a space at the recognized and structured markets across Ikorodu division, this will help protect your goods and become part of the positive growth of the city.   

The Government knows what to do; perhaps if the Government can proffer a specific measure of space or create a protected market space for the visiting traders, that will be a laudable idea if acknowledge, and keep them safe and protected from these visible danger, instead of chasing them totally.

In an interview with one of the visiting trader selling on Ikorodu garage Highway, Mrs. Basirat Olaogun Says, the essence of trading on the major road is to attract their target audience slash customers in other to avoid nonprofitable business venture.

Says, if the King, HRM Oba Kairu Adewale Shotobi, and the Executive Chairman of Ikorodu local government, Hon. Wasiu Ayodeji Adesina can create a night market space in affordable rate will eradicate the trading and selling on the highway.
