    Displaying goods on the roadside is a harmful habit to the State especially in the Ilorin market precisely but I will plead to the Kwara State Governor to find a replacement for them in which they would able to display their goods .

    Relocating is not an option but I feel staying by the roadside is quite dangerous
    I feel the government should make a space for them to sell and a boundary where they must not exceed
