In order to reduce the ongoing insecurity that residents experience, the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) razed all unlawful markets in Area 11 and the Federal Secretariat on Saturday.
Mr. Osi Braimah, Director AEPB, made this statement following the destruction of all the shanties surrounding the Federal Secretariat as well as the market known as COVID-19 market in Area 11.
The director said that a road corridor exploited as an unlawful market by the Federal Secretariat is now occupied by small-time vendors. He expressed confidence that the FCT administration would soon start the project to prevent the return of the traders.
“The issues with shanties in the areas will soon be resolved thanks to the large start of road improvements within the FCT.
