The decision according to him was reached during a meeting held with Market representatives at the Ministry today.

The Commissioner emphasized the importance of compliance, warning that defaulters may face penalties or eviction from the market.

Market representatives were urged to prioritize rent payments to avoid any disruptions to their businesses.

Honourable Adebisi stated that, “The enforcement drive is aimed at ensuring that market stall holders contribute to the state’s revenue, which will be used to further develop our markets and benefit the traders.”

Mr. Olasiji Olaosebikan and Alhaja Oluremi Animashaun from Ogbomosho and Podo Ultra – Modern markets respectively, appreciated the government supports and pledged to synergize with the state government to ensure the success of the initiative.
