Agboju Market in Festac town has become a popular and highly patronized market for the community and environs.
Agboju market can be said to be a popular market, if not the most popular market in the Festac Town community of Amuwo-Odofin LGA.
There is always build up of traffic emanating from the high inflow of commuters and residents who are either coming in or trying to access the market especially at the busstop directly opposite 22 road, Festac Town.
It has been learnt that there has been an increase of accidents at the popular Agboju busstop at the 2nd avenue Junction.
According to some residents, the increasing spate of accidents is not unconnected with arbitrary building construction by a developer popularly known as Hajiya.
It is alleged that the developer, has converted the spot to commercial shops despite the warning by the Ministry of Environment in Amuwo Odofin Local Government.
They alleged that the shops violated the right of way of vehicles, resulting to accidents.
A concerned resident, Mr John Okeke, who spoke with sunday sun lamented thus
“I want to appeal to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Executive Chairman of Amuwo Odofin Local Government and the Iyaloja of Lagos State, Mrs Shade Tinubu Ojo, to come to our aid. Accidents have become a daily occurrence around Agboju market because of the conversion of the bus stop to shops.”
