The Awka Capital Territory Development Authority has commenced the removal of illegal structures erected along the path carved out for the expansion of the Unizik-Okpuno Road.
The Authority said that the illegal structures are delaying the commencement of work by the construction company handling the project.
Reacting to the development, one of the residents of the area, Mr. Olisachukwukwelu Ezeigwu stated that the demolition is in the best interest of the people.
Mr. Ezeigwu blamed the residents of the area for failing to heed to the various notices served on them by Awka Capital Territory Development Authority before the demolition exercise.
The Chief of Staff to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, Mr. Ernest Ezeajuighi who also monitored the exercise, said that one of the cardinal objectives of the Soludo administration is to build a peaceful, livable and prosperous homeland to aid rapid growth and development of the State.
Mr. Ezeajughi commended the efforts of the Managing Director of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority Mr. Ossy Onuko in ensuring the smooth construction of the road, and maintained that demolition is necessary to enable the contractors construct a dual carriage road to open up the city.
The Chief of Staff expressed optimism that on completion residents of the area and Ndi Anambra will appreciate the State government.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority Mr. Onuko re-affirmed the commitment of the establishment towards making Awka capital territory one of the best.
