State Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Erelu Tosin Aluko-Ajisafe in a statement made available to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, said there will be no restrictions on human or vehicular movement during the exercise due to the working visit of the Wife of the President to the state.

According to her, market women are expected to have cleaned their shops on Thursday, while public servants will tidy their offices on Friday.
