The State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, disclosing this in a statement said Lagos is eager to unlock its potential even as it secures its food chain.
Sanwo-Olu said the newly unveiled fresh food hub in Mushin spanning 6400sqm is equipped with ample parking and storage to support farmers in Lagos and combat post-harvest losses.
“We are replicating this success in AJAH, AGEGE, and ABULE ADO to strengthen food accessibility across the state,” he said.
According to the governor, this approach to food distribution will revolutionize the way his administration addresses inflation and tracks produce in Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu added that it will also help Lagos to maximise its comparative advantage as a market state, thereby, reducing the stumbling blocks affecting food security-market information, intermediary integration and contractual certainty.
The governor on Sunday inaugurated the Fresh Food Agro-Hub in Idi-Oro Market, Mushin Local Government Area of Lagos.
The Fresh Food Agro-Hub, Mushin, is expected to mitigate post harvest losses inflation, traffic congestion and reduce carbon footprints emission among others
