The Lagos State Government over the weekend brought succour the
way of Tejuosho traders whose shops and wares were gutted by fire on December
18, 2007.The state governor, Babatunde Fashola, who commissioned the shopping
complex stated that although, Tejuosho market was first commissioned in 1975 by
the then Military Administrator, Brig. General Mobolaji Johnson as the major
market within and around Lagos, the new shape it has assumed will still make it
the best around the state. According to Fashola, by the time the light rail
project being undertaken by the state government is completed, movement to and
fro the market from any part of the state would be with ease. He noted that the
old Tejuosho Market contained a total of 1,184 shops while this new Tejuosho
Shopping Complex contains a total of 2640 shops. He said that disaster control
and prevention were highly considered in the new dispensation and to this end,
stores have been built to adequately meet the needs of the users and their
wares. This he said will make subletting and street trading a thing of
the past.
