Delta State Taskforce Warns Against Illegal Trading Activities And Other Environmental Nusiance

The Delta State Taskforce On Environment on Friday warned traders  in Warri metropolis to desist from  the habit of displaying their wares on the road for sale or any illegal activities  causing traffic gridlock and other environmental nuisance 


Recall that the taskforce chairman, Honorable Sylvester Oromoni had  earlier warned against trading on walkways, ontop drainages and government spaces 

According to him' it has become a norm in Delta, people display their wares anywhere they like or see available space, even major roads has been turned to market place not minding if it is a threat to their lives

He said,  the activities of the traders who are in such habit had reached a level which the state government could no longer condone hence the warning

Futher he said 'We have  sensitized and appealed to the roadside traders to desist from displaying their goods on the road and on the walkways but it has fallen on deaf ears


Their selfish actions has lead to obstruction of  movement of  persons and vehicles, they disturb other road users with their activities on the road

He said, aside causing avoidable and needless traffic, the traders were also in the habit of dumping their refuse on the road.
We have a lot of filth on the road because the traders just dump their refuse on the road and in drainages thereby causing environmental and health hazards.

 We do not want that anymore. Any illegal trading activities that  are blocking the road and constituting menace to others should stop forthwith

Also; they expose themselves to danger because it may lead to death when  hit by a  vehicle or when an accident occur

The government cares about her citizens therefore the taskforce  will continually monitor major highways and inner roads to put a total stop to indiscriminate roadside trading and disposal of waste on the roads and gutters 'Oromoni said
