In compliance with the Federal Government's directive, the Kwara State Government has demolished illegal structures at Unity Road, Ilorin, to ensure the safety of lives and property. The exercise, which aimed to prevent commercial ventures in front of government offices and schools, was carried out by the Kwara State Geographic Information Service.
According to the Executive Chairman, Abdulkareem Babatunde Sulyman, the affected structures were on the road setback of the state Fire Service Office and the Amusement Park. He explained that the exercise was a federal directive being implemented across all 36 states, and that removal notices had been served on the shop owners.
The Head of the Patrol Unit, Abdulkareem Moshood, stated that the demolished structures were illegal and affecting traffic flow. He advised the public to contact relevant government offices before developing any land.
Shop owners appealed for resettlement and compensation, as their livelihoods depended on the place. They also suggested improved sensitization programs to prevent similar incidents.
The exercise is part of the state government's efforts to ensure safety, security, and compliance with federal directives.
