They are to open on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
The FCT Minister, Muhammad Bello, issued this directive in Abuja on Monday during a meeting with Market Managers and heads of security agencies.
According to a press release by the Chief Press Secretary, Anthony Ogunleye, only retailers would be allowed to operate within the markets as wholesale services would not be permitted.
Bello directed market managers and the Police to ensure compliance with this directive by monitoring all entry and exit points of the various markets as well as activities of the traders.
He also advised FCT residents to patronise markets within their neighbourhoods rather than going to the major markets in the city centre, in order to limit the spread of the virus among communities in the FCT.
