The visit follows growing complaints from Northern residents and business operators about the incident and the need for urgent government intervention.
Kwankwaso expressed his commitment to finding a lasting solution that safeguards the interests of Northern traders in Lagos. He emphasized the importance of protecting livelihoods and ensuring that affected business owners are supported during the recovery and rebuilding process.
Speaking to local media, the former governor noted, “I am here to ensure that a solution is found which will protect the interests of the people of Northern Lagos. The traders’ welfare is a priority, and we must work together to restore their businesses safely and efficiently.”
The visit has drawn attention to the broader issue of market safety, infrastructure maintenance, and government responsiveness to business communities in Lagos. Stakeholders are hopeful that Kwankwaso’s intervention will accelerate remedial actions and provide relief to affected traders.
The discussions are expected to include government officials, market leaders, and community representatives, aiming to create a roadmap for immediate recovery and long-term resilience of Alaba Rago Market.
The engagement underscores the need for collaboration between government authorities and community leaders to ensure that commercial hubs in Lagos are safe, sustainable, and supportive of economic growth for all traders, particularly those from the Northern states who rely heavily on such markets.
