Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced the return of the Ounjè Eko Sunday market, where residents can enjoy a 25% reduction in the prices of staple food items.
This development was confirmed by the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, in a recent post on X.
He shared that the directive was disclosed to the media by the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems, Abisola Olusanya, during a press briefing in Lagos on Wednesday.
Omotoso’s post read, “Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has directed that the Sunday market Ounjè Eko with 25% cut in prices should return on Sunday. Agric and Food Systems Commissioner Abisola Olusanya tells the media – all is set. Lagosians, are you ready?”
The Ounjè Eko markets, which originally launched in March, offered residents across Lagos a significant discount on essential food items such as rice, beans, gari, bread, eggs, tomatoes, and pepper.
These markets were strategically located across the state, with 27 sites in Ikeja, six on Lagos Island, nine in Ikorodu, five in Epe, and 10 in the Badagry divisions.
The initiative, which had a successful run earlier 2024, is now set to resume, promising Lagosians easier access to affordable food products.
