The Borno State government led by Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has placed a ban on street hawking and other unauthorized activities within the Maiduguri metropolis. The ban was announced by the Borno State Urban Planning and Development Board (BSUPDB) on Friday. The decision is aimed at enhancing the city's aesthetics and safety, in compliance with the Borno State Urban Planning and Development Law of 2002. According to Mr.
Limán Mustapha, the General Manager of the BSUPDB, the ban extends to operations of tricycle operators and generator mechanics near key locations such as the Post Office and Monday Market areas. Additionally, activities on pedestrian walkways, junctions, and roundabouts, as well as the sale of engine oil and dumping of construction materials on road reservations, are also prohibited. Mustapha further stated that mixing cement on roadsides and constructing boreholes along roads are among the activities now outlawed. He warned those affected to vacate the occupied sites immediately or face legal consequences. 'The board has no alternative but to arrest and prosecute defaulters in a court of law,' Mustapha said
