Duala Market, one of the busiest commercial hubs, is facing growing sanitation challenges as heaps of garbage, and worsening environmental conditions continue to affect traders and customers.
The situation has become increasingly alarming, with heaps of waste occupying key sections of the trading area, creating unpleasant conditions for vendors and visitors.
Many traders say, the deteriorating sanitation situation has made it difficult to conduct business, while also exposing residents, shoppers, and market workers to serious health risks.
Critics have questioned the effectiveness of the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC). They argued that the city administration has yet to provide a sustainable solution to the growing waste management crisis.
According to marketers, repeated promises to improve sanitation in major commercial centers have yielded little visible progress, leaving many communities frustrated.
