Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has revoked the certificates of occupancy of a filling station and ordered its demolition in Minna, the state capital.
The governor gave the directive when he inspected the filling station alongside Ketaren Gwari, within the Minna metropolis.
According to him, the construction was unlawful and its location was not secure for the individuals of the realm, insisting that he had earlier requested the homeowners to cease work.
He stated: “We have a report of the illegal structure, and I have asked the Urban Development Board to stop them from working, but they continued, so we revoked the C of O from today, and we will mark it for demolition.”
Bago additional insisted: “It’s uncalled for in the midst of people, it’s hazardous to their lives, and it’s not acceptable.”
