Some major markets were shut down in Lagos yesterday, January 25, to enable traders collect their PVCs ahead of the election which would begin on February 25.

The management of International Trade Fair Complex, Balogun and Article markets, said the decision was taken to encourage the traders to collect their PVCS and exercise their franchise on Election Day.

It was also learnt that an automobile spare parts market in the state was also shut last Saturday for the same purpose.
