Obasa and market leaders

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has advised traders in the state to have a common source of power supply in their markets instead of individuals operating different power generating sets.

Doing that, he said, would help bring an end to incessant fire outbreak.

Obasa made the suggestion while addressing members of Market Leaders And Traders Association of Nigeria, Lagos Chapter, led by their president, Mr. Christopher Okpala, who paid him a courtesy visit on Tuesday.

Obasa said having a common source of power supply to serve a whole market would go a long way to curb incessant fire outbreak in markets.

He also advised the traders to constantly liaise with local government councils and Neighborhood Safety Corps in their areas of operation to stop the problem of blocked drainage and insecurity, particularly those caused by hoodlums.

He further implored them to also help the government by paying their taxes as at when due.

The President of Market Leaders And Traders Association of Nigeria, Lagos Chapter, Mr. Okpala, in his opening address said they visited the Speaker to present to him an award of Extra-Ordinary Ambassador of Commerce.

The traders also said they had named their 2020 edition of their football competition Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa Traders Cup.

Also present at the occasion were Mr. Olawale S. Olayiwola (Mushin 2), Mr. Sanni Okanlawon (Kosofe 1), Chief of Staff to the Speaker, Mr. Saka Fafunmi and others.
