Yobe State Road Traffic Management Agency (YOROTA) has commenced enforcement of the ban on illegal motor parks and unauthorised roadside business structures within the Damaturu metropolitan area.
The exercise began on Monday, shortly after the agency’s weekly general staff parade and polling exercise.
According to YOROTA, the operation is aimed at restoring order, enhancing road safety, reducing traffic congestion, and ensuring the free movement of vehicles and pedestrians across the state capital.
In a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, DSY Musa Ali Maigari, the agency reminded transport operators, commercial drivers, tricycle riders, and roadside traders that operating illegal motor parks and carrying out unauthorised business activities along public roads contravene existing traffic regulations.
“Anyone found contravening the directive will be sanctioned in accordance with the provisions of the law,” the statement warned.
YOROTA appealed to transport unions, stakeholders, community leaders, and residents to cooperate with the enforcement team to ensure the success of the exercise.
The agency said public support was critical to promoting environmental sanitation, maintaining public order, improving traffic management, and creating a safer road network for all users in Damaturu.
“YOROTA remains committed to its mandate of ensuring safety, orderliness, and efficient traffic management throughout Yobe State,” the statement added.
