As a government, we will not accept it and we will enforce it.”

He stressed that it was germane for the citizens to ensure they made good use of the roads and not allow people turn it to parks and mechanic workshops.

“Let us do the right thing by taking good care of our roads and other infrastructure in the state.

“By so doing, government will have more funds to provide additional infrastructure across the state for the well-being of all citizens
