Trading on Major Roads, Another Big failure of Local Government Leadership in Delta.... Marvelous Doboro


According to the Nigeria Constitution, "Local Government Chairman, as the chief executive of a Local Government Council, has several key duties related to markets, including 

**Establishment, maintenance, and regulation. 

Constructing, maintaining, and regulating markets. Ensure proper waste management and sanitation within the market areas. 

The Chairman also plays a role in promoting economic development within the local government area, which can include supporting local businesses and market traders. 

In these areas, the local government chairmen are failing woefully as they now consider themselves as contractors employed to build Secretariat in their LGA council.

The Delta State government should take active steps to stop trading on major roads.  

Trading on the road poses great dangers to the safety of traders and road users as such also affect free-flow of traffic on Delta State roads.

The state Governor, RT. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori should ensure that local governments chairmen are functional and productive.

The Chairman, Udu Local Government Area of Delta state, Hom Vincent Oyibode deserve commendation for evicting traders from the mejor road in Ubogo market 

Therefore, we are using this medium to plead to the Governor of our dear state, His Excellency Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori to call on all other affected Local Government Area Chairmen in Delta state such as Uvwie, and its environ to emulate the same gesture being done by Udu LGA, so that there will be free flow of movement of vehicles and unnecessary obstruction of business activities in the market roads, because most of all these major roads lead to the riverine areas.
