Enugu State Warns Against Defacing Bus Shelters

The Enugu State Ministry of Transport issued a warning to residents against defacing bus shelters, stating that unauthorized use for advertisements is strictly prohibited. The statement, released on a Saturday by the ministry's public relations officer, Chinwendu Odumegwu, highlighted concerns over the increasing placement of posters, stickers, banners, and handbills on public transport infrastructure.

The ministry emphasized that these bus shelters are public assets built with significant government investment to create a cleaner, safer, and more organized transport system. Individuals and business agents found damaging or defacing these structures will face sanctions, including heavy fines and possible legal prosecution.

An enforcement team has been mandated to monitor compliance with this directive as part of a broader campaign to promote civic responsibility and respect for public infrastructure. The ministry called on residents and stakeholders to support the preservation of public assets for collective benefit and to maintain the visual order and aesthetics of Enugu State.
