Lagos food markets:Ounje Eko food markets

The Ounje Eko food markets are a welcome initiative launched by the Lagos State Government to provide some relief to residents facing rising food prices.

These special markets offer a selection of essential food items at discounted prices every Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm.

Here's a closer look at the program:

Discounted Prices: Residents can expect to save 25% on everyday staples like rice, beans, gari, bread, eggs, tomatoes, and pepper. 

This can significantly reduce grocery bills, especially for those struggling to make ends meet.

Voucher System: To ensure fair access and prevent hoarding, the Ounje Eko markets utilize a voucher system. 

This means residents will need to obtain vouchers beforehand, most likely through designated channels or partnering organizations. 

The exact details of how to acquire vouchers should be announced by the Lagos State Government.

Market Locations: The program spans across all five administrative divisions of Lagos: Ikeja, Lagos Island, Ikorodu, Epe, and Badagry. Having markets spread throughout the city ensures residents in various neighborhoods have a convenient location to access discounted groceries.

For Lagosians looking to stretch their grocery budget, the Ounje Eko food markets offer a chance to get essential items at a reduced cost. With a bit of planning to secure vouchers and find the nearest market location, residents can take advantage of this program to ease the financial burden of rising food costs.
