Residents of Johnson area of Somolu have urged concerned authorities to rehabilitate Somolu market and adjoining road.
A resident, Ojo Mathew, said: “The market is always rowdy and one has to be vigilant as not to be robbed of one’s belonging. The road so very unkempt, the environment around food shops in the market is very bad and polluted as there are wastes littered around, with odour.”
“The road in and out of the market is in a terrible shape and there is need to give them a facelift to enhance commercial activities. There is need to sanitise the market to make it a condusive place for traders and shoppers.”
Another resident, Adewale Olabisi described the market road as pothole- ridden saying: “The market road is full of potholes and gullies. It is usually an eyesore during rainy period, hence, we are calling on concerned authroities to fix it up.
“Also, there should be proactive evacuation of refuse in the market especially at the food stalls to prevent food items from being contaminated by bacteria which might possibly lead to outbreak of disease.’
