He said: “all we are doing is for the benefit of the people and they have to appreciate it by complying to what is expected of them.”

He charged residents to ensure proper hygiene as the state had reported cases of Lassa fever outbreak recently.

The commissioner warned tricycle operators to desist from unnecessary movement and learn to stay indoors for the three-hour exercise.

The committee, however, warned builders to avoid dumping building materials on drains and waterways to avoid blockage and flood. (NAN)
