6 Months After Fire Disaster, Lagos Martins Street Traders Still Struggling

Six months after the infernos that engulfed the Great Nigerian Insurance House and several other buildings on Martins Street in Lagos Island, commercial activities are yet to return to full capacity due to the continued blockage of some affected parts of the area. The situation has become a major concern for traders, many of whom say their businesses have suffered severe setbacks since the incident. According to reports, restricted access to portions of the street has slowed recovery efforts and limited customer movement, leaving traders struggling to fully resume operations. Stakeholders are calling for faster restoration and improved safety measures to ensure a return to normal commercial activity in the area.
