The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has placed an immediate and indefinite ban on all night club activities in the state.
Equally banned is night-time trading and street prostitution along Abacha road and surrounding streets in the Port Harcourt metropolis.
According to him, “No responsible government should continue to tolerate the open display of sexual services, drug abuse and public intoxication that takes place along the streets and public areas abutting some of these night clubs, lounges and bars by the youths, some as young as under 14 years.“
The Governor also banned street trading within and around Birabi Street, Hotel Presidential, GRA Junction up to Tombia Street, Rumuola Junction surroundings and under the flyover, Rumuogba Junction, Okoronodu Junction surroundings, among others.
Wike also read the riot act to cart pushers, scavengers and illegal refinery operators who he blamed for the harmful soot that continues to engulf the state.
