The commissioner said the ban on street trading and hawking would help to curtail the nefarious activities of hawkers who disguise to rob motorists and also disrupt the free-flow of traffic on highways and streets.
The state government had earlier shut the Ladipo Market in the Mushin area of Lagos following several environmental offences, including reckless waste disposal, unhygienic premises, and non payment of waste bills, among others.
