The Edo Government has banned the use of
the premises of public schools, roads and
other public places for social events.
The Commissioner for Communication and
Orientation, Mr Paul Ohonbamu made the
announcement on Wednesday in Benin in a
statement issued to newsmen.
He warned that violation of the ban would
be dealt with in accordance with extant
laws.
He said that henceforth, the government
would not condone those who flout the
ban. The commissioner directed
government agencies to ensure the ban is
complied with.
“By our ancestry as Edo people, we have
always shown the example of public order
and decency which others have emulated
over the years.
“This administration is determined to make
Edo a model of magnificence and beauty
once again,“ Ohonbamu said.
