The Lagos State Government has on Monday ordered the reopening of Mile 12 International Market after it was sealed on Friday.

The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said the market was reopened after a thorough assessment, covering various aspects of environmental compliance, waste management practices, and general cleanliness within the market.
