The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has directed that ‘Ounje Eko’ food markets commence operations on Sunday, March 17, 2024 across Lagos.
The markets have been tasked with selling discounted food items across the five divisions of Lagos.
The food items including; rice, beans, gari, bread, eggs, tomatoes, and pepper, among others – will be sold at a 25% discount to residents.
This was announced in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho on Saturday.
It reads partly: “To prevent sharp practices and ensure the foodstuff reaches a large number of Lagosians, a voucher system will be introduced as the pilot scheme kicks off.
“Independent payment solution providers and food vendors have been identified and carefully selected to operate the process. They will also provide real-time data on the exercise for monitoring.
