Officials of the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) over the weekend raided the Ladi Kwali junction, Wuse Zone 4, where foreign currency dealers, food vendors, and hawkers have taken over.
The AEPB during the exercise removed several stalls used by the traders and warned that they should restrict their activities to the garden within the area.
The Media Liaison Officer of the board, Mr. Samuel Musa, said that the exercise was in line with the board’s drive towards achieving a clean and habitable FCT.
“Modern cities are well planned and maintained for proper habitation and they do not give room for indiscriminate hawking of wares,” he said.
“This exercise is in line with our resolve to ensure that nuisances within the FCT are seriously taken care of to maintain the hygiene and serenity of the city.”
He added that the task of ensuring the immediate removal of people and property considered to be nuisances within the Federal Capital City was a continuous one.
