Ebute-Ero Helpers Market Women’s Union

[edit]

In 1961, the Ebute-Ero Helpers Market Women’s Union was formally registered under the Registration of Business Names Act.[5]

The Union represented the collective interests of women traders at Ebute-Ero and became the only legally recognized women’s organization in the market. By the 1970s, the Union was led by Alhaja Adeniyi Oqowobi (President), A.A. Badaru (Secretary), and Mrs. Doyin Bankole (Treasurer).[6]

In an October 1975 petition to the press and government, the Union emphasized that it had the full support of the market women and rejected claims of rival organizations. Copies of the petition were also sent to the Lagos City Council, the Military Governor of Lagos State, and the Oba of Lagos.[7]
