The Oyo State Government has unveiled plans to introduce the “Cleanest Market of the Month Award” across markets in the state beginning from July 2026, as part of efforts to promote environmental sanitation, healthy living, and effective market management.
Ademola Aderinto, commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, who stated this while hosting market leaders from across the state at the Conference Hall of the Ministry, urged the market leaders to effectively coordinate their members and ensure strict compliance with environmental sanitation practices, noting that the monthly assessment will be based on key criteria, including the level of cleanliness, effective waste management, proper organisation of the market, and consistent compliance with the state’s daily environmental sanitation policy.
The Commissioner emphasized that daily environmental sanitation across all markets will constitute a major condition, alongside other assessment criteria, in determining the winner of the Cleanest Market of the Month Award.
