The upper legislative chamber equally urged the ministry to enforce setback regulations for fixed structures along highways and ensure planning authority regulations for motor parks, markets and places of worship.
These followed a motion sponsored by Senator Barnabas Gemade and Senator Stella Oduah.

The Senate, also on Tuesday, tasked the Federal Ministry of Water Resources to construct over 4,000 small captive dams across all communities in Nigeria every year.
It also directed the committee on water resources to carry out investigations of groundwater in all river basins and monitor the deployment.
These followed a motion sponsored by Senator Gemade and Senator Oduah, as both submitted that the development would address the adverse effect of increased borehole drillings in Nigeria.
