Cross River State Moves Mechanics Off Streets | Nigeria News

Cross River State government moves to clear street-side mechanics and spare parts dealers from Calabar’s main roads, calling it a public nuisance that blocks traffic and damages infrastructure. While not targeting legitimate businesses, officials push for separation of repair work and sales into proper workshops. Environment Commissioner Mensah Bassey outlines the plan for cleaner, more orderly streets in key areas like Bedwell and King Duke. Dealers, led by Felix Odigwe, pledge cooperation, vowing to keep their zones tidy and road-access clear. This marks a broader effort to reclaim public space while balancing local commerce with urban order — watch to see if relocation succeeds.
