Onengiyeofori George, DSSRS has banned the sales and use of all kinds of Fireworks, Firecrackers, and Knockouts in ASALGA.
The Chairman in a statement signed by the Honourable Supervisor for Information and Communications, John Paul Braide, urged all Asalgans and visitors to “embrace love and peace which are the core essence of the season and shun all forms of violence or any act that may negatively impact on the peaceful atmosphere in the LGA”.
