Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has directed that the food discounted sales programme 'Ounje Eko' Sunday Market should take place on Friday 29th March, 2024.
This is in the spirit of the Easter celebration.
In a Statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, vendors will be at the 57 centres across the five divisions of the State, except the State Secretariat market, to buy various items at 25% less than the usual market prices.
Food items expected to be sold at the centres include, rice, beans, pepper, bread, eggs, garri and others.
The discount market is part of measures rolled out under the umbrella of EKO CARES to cushion the effect of the hard times on Lagosians.
According to Omotoso, Governor Sanwo-Olu has promised that his administration, through the Special Dispensation Advisory Committee on Social Interventions (SPEDAC), will work assiduously to ease the economic burden on Lagosians.
He noted that other EKO CARES initiatives, which will be formally opened soon, cut across health, education and transportation sectors.
The “Ounje Eko” Market pilot scheme, which began on Sunday, 17th of March, 2024, will continue after the Easter celebration.
