Gov Ambode Lagos state Government has no plan to demolish Ladipo market



Lagos State Government,has assured traders at the Ladipo Market that it has no plan to demolish the market.
Early in the week, there were rumours  that the state government partially demolished some parts of the structures for the commencement of full demolition plans by the government.


At a media briefing in his Mushin office, the executive Secretary of the Council, Mr. Jide Bello said:

“Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has no plan to demolish the market, the local council developer only moved in to take ownership of the market, but we have no plan to demolish the market.”
According to Bello, the council’s plan as contained in an agreement earlier reached with the traders, was to redevelop the market in phases with construction lasting for a period of three to five months.
“Therefore, to commence the redevelopment plan, bulldozer of the developer moved in on Tuesday, business activities had continued in the Ladipo market unhindered and the traders are presently at their stalls carrying out their business transactions.”
He explained that the Local Government decided to redevelop the market due to its deplorable state,  which did not fit into the megacity plans of the state.

He said the Mushin Local Government intended to undertake the development of the market in phases and because of that, had not collected any form of rent from the traders in the market since the beginning of 2015.

He assured traders that current owners of stalls would be given priority as long as they can provide valid ownership papers once the construction is completed.

Indeed, it was quiet enough to hear a rouble drop when as the Russian oligarch enjoyed a lunch date with partner Dasha Zhukova at Puny restaurant during their current stay in picturesque Italian coastal town Portofino. The couple were spotted as they surveyed their menus in silence before a waiter approached and obligingly took their order. Someone's pleased: Roman Abramovich smiles broadly as he relaxes in an empty Portofino restaurant with Dasha Zhukova The good life: Roman sits with a large glass of red wine in front of him on the table while his model girlfriend checks the menu Giving orders: A restaurant employee takes their food orders With a glass of red wine in front of him, Chelsea owner Roman looked relaxed in a short sleeve

It's one of the biggest social events on the A-list calendar, so the pressure is on for the A-list to shine at the Golden Globes.   And while Margot Robbie, Zooey Deschanel and Anna Gunn lit up the red carpet, leading the best-dressed pack in off-white, not everyone got it quite right. Sandra Bullock,  usually so fashion-forward,   made a rare misstep at this year's event in an unflattering pink, blue and black color block gown and messy side ponytail but, way out in front of the worst-dressed pack, Lady Victoria Hervey wore a dress that made her resemble a reject from an X-rated version of Dancing On Ice. Paula Patton, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence also turned heads for all the wrong reasons. Here FEMAIL round up the best and the very worst fashion of the 71st annual Golden Globes awards.
