The Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Hon. Muslim Folami visited the market on Monday to mediate and douse the brewing tension between the loyalists of two factional leaders within the market - Alhaji Dan Alli Malami and Alhaji Umaru Nagogo Sokoto.
He informed the various groups within the market that the State government prioritizes mutual and peaceful co-existence of all residents and is ready to do everything possible to achieve the objective.
Speaking further, the Commissioner explained that the intervention of the State Government became necessary considering the alarming rate which the lingering crisis took, adding that such development portends danger for the market, the community and the State at large.
He used the visit to dissolve all existing committees in the market, assuring that a reconciliatory meeting would soon be convened to put an end to the leadership tussle within the market through a new market management committee that will be acceptable to all.
He announced that Alhaji Umaru Nagogo Sokoto, the Seriki Hausawa should continue to perform his functions as the Hausas’ sectional market leader pending further directives from the State government.
While maintaining that the ownership and control of market resides with the Local Government with the Ministry acting only in supervisory role, Folami condemned in strong terms the unhygienic and dirty condition of the market, charging the leaders and operators to key into the new initiative of the State government aimed at getting rid of all environmental nuisances.
According to the Commissioner, the proposed Blue Rail project that will terminate at Okokomaiko area of the State and the importance of Badagry corridor as the gateway to other ECOWAS countries make it more imperative for the axis to reflect the cleaner and greener initiative of the State government.
The Executive Chairman, Iba Local Council Development Area, Princess Ramota Oseni, expressed delight at the visit and appealed to warring parties to remain calm and give the State government the chance to amicably resolve the issue which, she was optimistic, would be favourable to all.
Recall that the crisis in the market resulted from the rejection of the Alhaji Dan Alli Malami led Committee (who is the current leader of the market) as the management committee for the market and the clamour for Alhaji Umaru Nagogo Sokoto as the new Seriki Hausawa of the market.More photos below.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
