The Lagos State Government has met with traders at Computer Village, Ikeja, to discuss the planned relocation of the market to the newly developed ICT and Business Park in Katangowa, Agbado-Oke Odo.
Permanent Secretary, Office of Urban Development, Mr. Gbolahan Oki, said the meeting was convened on the directive of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ensure transparency and stakeholder involvement in the process.
The relocation is part of Sanwo-Olu’s urban renewal and decentralisation strategy aimed at decongesting commercial hubs, enhancing living conditions, and promoting sustainable development.
Oki explained that the Katangowa ICT and Business Park will feature modern facilities such as hotels, banking halls, recreation centres, car parks, a fire station, police post, and access roads.
He urged traders to support the relocation, avoid trading on roads and setbacks, and embrace the government’s urban renewal efforts.
