According to Mogbonjubola, the activities of the roadside traders have been constituting nuisance to public health.
He added: “The act has been causing unwarranted obstruction of free flow of traffic, passers by and vehicles contrary to the Environmental Sanitation Regulation, 2013.”
The Commissioner, therefore, advised the traders to relocate their business activities to more suitable places meant for them in the neighbourhood markets.
