Oyo State Government has issued a 7-day ultimatum to occupants and owners of illegally erected kiosks, containers, shanties and business operations to vacate the Road sides.
The state Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Arc Abdulmojeed Mogbojuola, gave the directive, during his official visit to Ojoo, Ibadan on Tuesday.
He noted that the ugly trend constitutes a great nuisance to public health.
The Commissioner explained that the act has been causing unwarranted obstruction of free flow of traffic, passers-by and vehicles, contrary to the Environmental Sanitation Regulation, 2013.
Arc Mogbonjubola emphasized that illegal operations should be halted, especially, on the drainages occupied by the individuals.
He, however, advised that business activities should be relocated to more suitable places meant for them in the neighborhood markets, as this would checkmate road accidents and loss of lives and properties.
