IN preparation for the visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to Oyo State, on Thursday, the state government has ordered the closure of all major markets in Ibadan to give the entourage of the president easy access to projects he is scheduled to inaugurate on the day.
The affected markets include Aleshinloye, Dugbe, Oke-Ado and Challenge.
Others are Bola-Ige International Market, Gbagi, as well as Oje and Beere markets.
The state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Alhaji Mukaila Aborode, gave the order in a press statement released in Ibadan, while enjoining market men and women, as well as commercial vehicle operators in the metropolis to set a day aside to clean up their surroundings before the visit.
Alhaji Aborode implored the affected traders to bear with the state government on the order, adding that the visit would bring more prosperity to the state.
