The Borno State Government said on Sunday that it had banned
the sale of charcoal and firewood on major streets in the metropolis to prevent
pollution in the city.
Alhaji Kakashehu Lawan, the Commissioner for Justice,
disclosed this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Maiduguri.
Lawan said that sellers of the commodities were expected to
relocate to a new market on Damboa Road designated for the sale of charcoal and
firewood.
“Sales of charcoal and firewood along major streets is
hereby banned.
“All those engaged in the business should relocate to the
Charcoal and Firewood market along Damboa Road in Maiduguri,” he said.
Lawan gave a two-week notice to all sellers to either
relocate to the market or face prosecution.
