Encroach On Govt Land At Your Own Risk —
Commissioner Paul Nwosu
The Anambra State Government has expressed commitment towards recovering all government lands from ill-assorted land-grabbers.
It is in keeping with the commitment that the Chairman of Anambra State Physical Planning Board, Barr. Chike Maduekwe, has led the joint task force to remove illegal structures in Oba, Onitsha and Nkwelle-Ezunaka.
The Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr Paul Nwosu, who disclosed this in a statement, said, “It must be restated for the avoidance of doubt that any building erected without approval will be brought down”.
“The same treatment goes to buildings on government lands which were hijacked by gangs of youths and resold to innocent people. People should equally be careful who they buy lands from to avoid embarrassment and loss of their hard earned money. Government will no longer condone the kind of impunity that goes on in land transactions,” the Commissioner cautioned.
He further reiterated, “It is incumbent on the public at large to take due notice and obey all necessary laws before erecting structures in the new Anambra State that insists on integrity in all operations”.
The Commissioner also emphasized that in attending to land matters, it is crucial to get all the necessary clearances from the Ministry of Lands before going to the Physical Planning Board to get the authorisation to construct.
He warned that anybody trying to cut corners will have his building removed and also risks being taken to court to face the law.
