Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced the launch of ‘Ounje Eko’ food markets, offering discounted prices on essential food items across the State, beginning from Sunday, March 17, 2024.

The directive, revealed through the official Lagos State government X handle (formerly Twitter) on Friday night, aimed to alleviate the economic burden on residents amidst rising food prices.

Under the initiative, staple food items including rice, beans, gari, bread, eggs, tomatoes, and pepper will be available at 25% discounted prices at the ‘Ounje Eko’ Food Markets, which will open from 11am to 4pm in all local government areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the State.

To ensure equity and prevent exploitation, a voucher system will be implemented during the pilot phase of the initiative.

Independent payment solution providers and meticulously selected food vendors will facilitate the process, while also furnishing government with real-time data for monitoring purposes.
