The Rivers State Government has frowned at the continuous operation of illegal motor parks, kiosks, mechanic shops and street trading across the state.
Governor Nyesom Wike who disclosed this in a state-wide broadcast today, ordered a clampdown on all of such activities with effect from January 4 .
He said the government is out to put a final stop to such illegal activities from the said date, as the grace period is over.
“I wish to express my dismay at the continued floating on the ban of trading and creation of illegal motor parks and mechanic workplaces as well as erection of illegal kiosks along our streets and other public places.
Apart from constituting public nuisances, these activities and structures obstruct traffic flows and pose serious threat to security to the extent no other state government can tolerate.
We have no option but to order the immediate clampdown and put a final stop to these illegal operations from the 4th of January 2021,” he said.
