Lagos residents will today again benefit from Ounjè Èkò discount markets to consumers seeking affordable options amid economic challenges.
According to the Nation, the Lagos State Information Commissioner and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said Governor Sanwo-Olu rolled out the initiative, amongst others, to impact lives in various sectors of the economy, such as transportation, MSME trade, food, education, and health. They will all be run under the theme, EKO CARES.
“The Ounjè Èko market pilot scheme began on Sunday, March 17 with sales of discounted food items, such as rice, beans, garri, bread, eggs, and perishables – tomato, pepper, rodo, and onions.
“Local food vendors have witnessed increased sales since the exercise started, just as residents in each locality are excited at the low prices,” Omotoso said.
He, therefore, advised residents to look out for prices of the items displayed in each locality as they might slightly differ in different locations.
“The detailed locations of Ounje Èkó markets can be found on all Lagos State Government social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, X, and www.lagosstate.gov.ng,” Omotoso said.
