The Lagos food market ‘Ounje Eko’, offering discounted prices on essential food items across the state has commenced sales.

This comes after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu ordered that food products at the “Ounje Eko” food markets be sold at a discount in all five divisions of Lagos starting on Sunday, March 17.

Our correspondent, on Sunday, March 17, observed that staple food items including rice, beans, garri, bread, eggs, tomatoes, and pepper were made available at 25% discounted prices.

At two locations — Alubarika Primary School, Bariga and Gbagada Junior High School —visited by The Nation, residents trooped in large numbers to purchase different items.

One of the residents, Mrs. Amaka who purchased some items, expressed satisfaction over the food market and the prices of the items stating that they were cheap and affordable.

“I want to encourage other state governors to emulate this; this is a very fantastic and laudable idea.” Mrs. Amaka said.
