Edo State Government has expressed
worry over the menace of street hawking and the “self-induced chaotic traffic
situation” in the state’s metropolis, warning that it would deal ruthlessly
with those responsible for the lawlessness.
A statement by the Chief Press
Secretary to the Governor, John Mayaki, said that the government is not unaware
of complaints made and issues raised via the social media concerning the state
of Traffic Management in the state and challenges experienced in commuting
within the state.
The statement admitted that there
was an increase in the volume of economic activities, particularly in Benin
City, which brought about an increase in traffic, movement, and settlement,
noting that some of the issues identified were illegal trading on the streets,
reckless driving by commercial drivers and bad roads.
It further revealed that the
administration, being a progressive one, have made plans to repair the roads in
the state, which will ease the tension on traffic in the inner roads connecting
the major roads to an extent, while ensuring that every driver obeys the
traffic laws.
