Alhaja Moriamo Folami, Iyaloja of Ojugobi Ereko, said that market men and women in Lagos would cooperate with the new Iyaloja-General to ensure her success.

Major markets in Lagos, including that of Oke Arin, Idumota, Balogun, Oshodi, Mushin and Mile 12 were shut in honour of Tinubu-Ojo's installation.
