Upon assumption of office the Mayor of Calabar noticed a reoccurring issue with commercial motorist refusing to adhere to traffic laws along the Ika Ika Oqua market adjacent to Ediba road and environs.
Despite continuous pleads by the Local government council directed to the Motorists to desist from illegal parking of vehicles to offload and load passengers which was flouted recklessly.
A supervisory taskforce was constituted two weeks ago to checkmate the activities of motorists with strict warning to desist from illegal parking.
Earlier today the mayor had to embark on field supervision to ascertain the level of compliance and instructed the impoundment of erring vehicles. More so this has really helped to eradicate the gridlock that route has been known for over the years.
