Strategic Reintroduction to Combat Economic Challenges
In recent months, many Lagosians have struggled with the rising cost of living, prompting the need for innovative solutions to make basic necessities more affordable. Governor Sanwo-Olu’s decision to revive the ‘Ounjè Eko’ Sunday market is not only strategic but also a reflection of his deep commitment to the welfare of the people. The market, which was initially launched in March but paused after a few weeks, has now resumed, much to the relief of residents.
A Lifeline for Lagosians
Speaking on behalf of the Mandate Movement, Abdullahi Ayinde Enilolobo, the group’s chairman, expressed his appreciation for the governor’s unwavering dedication to alleviating the economic pressures on residents. Prince Adewale Arogundade, a member of the group’s Central Working Committee (CWC), emphasized the importance of this initiative in providing essential food items at reduced prices.
“The reintroduction of the ‘Ounjè Eko’ Sunday market by Governor Sanwo-Olu is not just a strategic move; it is a lifeline for many Lagosians struggling with the high cost of living. This initiative, offering a 25% discount on essential food items, reflects the governor’s deep understanding of the challenges faced by the people and his dedication to their well-being,” Arogundade stated.
