Jankara, Bombata and Pelewura markets in Lagos Island will be fully demolished to allow for urban regeneration of the area.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made the remarks while inspecting drainage channels on the island on Sunday.

“We’ve come here on a drainage and regeneration call,” Sanwo-Olu explained. During the rainy season, the entire stretch of Idumagbo Avenue is always flooded due to human activity, particularly from the nearby markets. They have built on the canals, preventing free passage of water, thus we must completely rebuild.

“As a result, in order to allow for proper regeneration of Lagos Island, the Jankara and Bombata markets must close; it will be a ground zero.” As a result, the markets will be cleansed in order to facilitate our urban renewal initiatives. The new market’s design is complete.

“We will, however, provide adequate notice to those in Pelewura market because there are more traders there, but this serves as the first notice.”

“These markets have outgrown and outlived a market in a modern city so they must give way for urban models.”
