The Lagos State Government has shut down 35 supermarkets between January and April for selling expired products, Commissioner for Commerce, Trade, and Investment, Mrs. Folashade Ambrose, announced on Tuesday. Speaking during a ministerial press briefing to mark Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term mid-point, Ambrose said other erring outlets were fined.
She noted the Consumer Protection Agency continues to educate consumers and encourages reports of violations.
Ambrose also highlighted significant investment wins from the Lagos Investment Roundtable, including a $200 million partnership with Abu Dhabi Ports to boost infrastructure and logistics in Lekki.
Additionally, Lagos signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC) to attract trade and investment from 56 nations, and is expanding industrial estates in Ikorodu and revamping older ones across the state.
