Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has announced the return of the Ounjè Eko Sunday market, which offers a 25% discount on prices. This announcement was made through a post on X by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso. The post further revealed that the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems, Abisola Olusanya, had confirmed the governor’s directive during a media briefing in Lagos on Wednesday.
In the post, Omotoso wrote: “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 initially launched in March but paused after a few weeks, provide Lagos residents with a 25% discount on essential food items such as rice, beans, gari, bread, eggs, tomatoes, and pepper. The markets are strategically located across various divisions of Lagos State, including 27 locations in Ikeja, six in Lagos Island, nine in Ikorodu, five in Epe, and 10 in Badagry. This initiative aims to make staple foods more affordable and accessible to residents across the state.
