Galadima also explained that in years to come, an over-head bridge will be constructed around the place.
“The removal of the shanties is in continuation of our commitment to keep sanity in the city and make the neighbourhood and environment healthy. Kabusa is an eye sore to the city starting from the junction.
“The place is an inter-section of ring road two and the outer southern part express way, it is a reservation for an inter-change with time there will be over head bridge that will connect ring road two and the outer southern way.
“We are starting from this point to Galadima roundabout, when we chase out the people we will come up with a plan that will accommodate all the traders, at least we will put them in an organised manner”
Galadima insisted that demolition of structures raised in areas without approval must go down for genuine infrastructure development.
