Anambra State Government has expressed disappointment that in spite of the warnings given to owners of illegal structures to remove them, these notices have been largely disregarded.
The Commissioner for Information, Sir Paul Nwosu in statement said the Anambra government is a proponent of law and order, and therefore will not condone any flagrant violation of legitimate directives given in the interest of public good.
He pointed out that government has repeatedly stated that these illegal structures distort and completely mangle the state cities’ original master plan which has resulted in the blocking of drainages and water channels, causing flooding and, sometimes, loss of lives.
The Commissioner stressed that this can no longer be tolerated as the rainy season is just around the corner.
He said that government is not unmindful of the fact that some of these illegal structures might have been erected by the owners out of ignorance of the law or due to economic circumstances or lack of knowledge of the negative consequences of their actions to the environment and human lives
