The government had earlier issued a statement where it said Ladipo Market and some others had been reopened.
Some of the reopened markets include Oyingbo, Ile Epo Oke-Odo and Alamutu markets.
But the Managing Director/CEO of Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, who made the clarification, noted that the market remained closed because it is observed that its management had not fully met stipulated mandatory safety and environmental measures earlier outlined by the Authority.
