The Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has said his administration will shut down all unregistered markets in the state.
Obaseki, who said this during a security meeting at Auchi, said the development would enable the state and local governments to provide facilities in markets.

“We must have the addresses of all the markets in our local governments. The idea of markets just erupting in people’s houses without them being registered must stop. All such markets must be closed. The laws have specified how markets can be set up”.
He explained that an investigation carried out by security personnel showed that all sorts of things happen there when the markets are supposed to have closed.
