Dr. Idris Salako, Commissioner in the state Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, gave the warning in a statement issued by Mr. Mukaila Sanusi, Assistant Director, Public Affairs.
”Henceforth, any developer found engaging in indiscriminate cutting of road will be made to face stiff penalties,” Salako said
