The Head of the Public Affairs Unit of the Assembly, Mr. Gilbert Nii Ankrah, announced the directive, urging all affected traders and hawkers to comply with the notice before the commencement of the enforcement exercise.

He explained that the ultimatum was intended to give traders and hawkers sufficient time to remove their goods and personal belongings voluntarily to avoid any inconvenience during the exercise.

The Assembly's move forms part of efforts to reclaim public spaces, ensure the smooth movement of vehicles and passengers, and improve order and safety at bus stops across the metropolis.
