The statement then urged traders to look for spaces to display their wares at nearby markets which is more safer for both the trader and those who patronise them.

According to the statement, "Road Walk-Ways as the name implies is meant for pedestrians to have a space to walk beside the road and not for road side traders to occupy with their wares.

"This act must stop with immediate effect, all road side traders who have occupied the walk-ways should vacate those spaces with immediate effect.

"It is an act which reduces the aesthetic beauty of our roads and the environment at large. It is dangerous for both the sellers and buyers as accidents do occur and the vehicle swerves and rams into anything on the road sides". The Commissioner stated.
