GOVERNOR MAKINDE VISITS ALESINLOYE MARKET, SUSPENDS PLANNED DEMOLITION

The Oyo State governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has declared that his administration will restructure the Alesinloye Market, Ibadan, to avert a recurrence of the fire incident that destroyed goods worth millions of Naira in March.

The governor also said that the state government has provided some sort of palliatives to serve as immediate cushion for the victims of the fire incident.

Governor Makinde  stated this today, when he carried out an on-the-site inspection of the market, noting that it was sad that though there was a fire station in the market, it could not stop the fire.

He equally ordered the suspension of the planned demolition of a section of the market until a proper alternative has been provided for traders.
