Ex governor of Rivers state and current minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike issued the ban while addressing the leadership teams of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), said it became necessary because corn sellers and street hawkers contribute to the insecurity and criminal activities in the nation’s capital.
He said;
The important thing we must do is to ensure that Abuja is back to what it ought to be. I moved around Abuja and found out there is total darkness in most of the places.
What we need to do is to ensure light comes back as soon as possible. “If you are in charge of sanitation, will call you at any time of the day. We shouldn’t allow motor parks all over the place.
Something must be done as soon as possible. If you cannot meet up my standard, say it now so that we can change you. Street trading is prohibited.
People selling corn will drop their waste indiscriminately and these are the things that cause insecurity. Criminals come to buy and use the opportunity to spy and give information to criminals.
It is imperative we clear street hawkers. Development control is a serious crisis area, we have to stop.
Why are there illegal structures and shanties everywhere? We will demolish any illegal structures. No matter how highly placed, the structure will come down.”
