Anambra State Government Joint Task Force has cautioned developers to strictly comply with the physical planning laws of the state.
According to report, the task force gave the caution when they took enforcement against illegal structures to Akwu Edoji, Uruagu in Nnewi North Local Government Area, where some developers built structures on access roads, thereby obstructing further developments in the area.
One of such developments is an ongoing duplex which blocked a major access road, obstructing further developments in a vast virgin land behind it.
The building including other structures such as gate houses, shops, fences and others, erected on access roads around the layout were demolished.
According to report, almost all the buildings in the axis visited, bore red markings of warnings to the developers, even while they were still at foundation level, but the developers remained adamant continuing their development.
In his remarks, the Chairman of Anambra State Physical Planning Board, Barrister Chike Maduekwe revealed that the enforcement is a routine being carried out from zone to zone to enforce town planning laws and ensure that development in the state is controlled, stressing that the location is a government approved layout, whose master plan has been bastardized by some people.
