In line with Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s plan to bequeath an enduring road network to Ndi Anambra, the Government of Anambra State will be embarking on the dualization of the Agulu and Nanka Roads.
According to a press statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Sir Paul Nwosu, though these are federal roads, they are primarily used by Ndi Anambra.
The statement explained that Governor Soludo has redesigned the roads for reconstruction to better facilitate commercial, industrial and agricultural activities across the areas they cut through.
The press release advised property owners along those routes to begin to plan how to relocate them elsewhere.
It noted that the law demands that any property along a federal highway must be set back forty-seven point five meters from the centre of the road and anything short of that, is a violation of the law and such property will be regarded and treated as an illegal structure which the government do not wish to happen.
The release further revealed that government is calling on traditional rulers and Presidents-General of the affected communities, as well as market leaders, to escalate the awareness campaign on the need to relocate shops and houses from the brink of these roads.
The traditional rulers and Presidents-General the release noted should also come together to take practical steps to map out areas where those that would be consequently affected can resettle before the construction work commences saying that government wishes to minimize avoidable losses by its early notice.
