Anambra govt begins enforcement against street trading, open defecation

The Anambra State Government has said it has resolved to fully enforce the law to stamp out street trading, indiscriminate refuse dumping, open defecation, and urinating in unauthorised places.

Celestine Anere, managing director of Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra Brigade, disclosed this to reporters on Tuesday in Awka.

Mr Anere said the enforcement was to protect the environment and ensure that buying and selling activities were removed from the roads and moved into market areas designed for them.
