Lagos State Government on Friday night directed the immediate re-opening of the Abattoir at Oko-Oba following the fulfilment of sanitation and hygienic prescriptions by the operators.
The announcement was contained in a statement signed by Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources.
He said the operators have substantially complied with the minimum benchmark for the operations of abattoirs in the state, which was flagrantly flouted, necessitating the closure.
Wahab informed that part of the conditions for the reopening is that every month, the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources officials will conduct a periodic inspection of the facilities at the abattoir.
