Anambra restricts unauthorised speed bump construction
The Anambra State government has issued a directive prohibiting residents and communities from building speed bumps on public roads without official approval. Dr Law Mefor, the state Commissioner for Information, explained that the move aims to prevent damage to road infrastructure and improve safety. All speed bumps and their locations must now be approved by the state government, and only a uniform design from the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure will be permitted. The government warned of stricter penalties for those who violate these rules.
