Following the expiration of the notice served on developers and building owners who built several illegal structures along the waterway in Fegge and environs within Onitsha, since April 2022, more than two months ago, Anambra state government has commenced demolition of such illegal structures.
The exercise which is being carried out by a joint government task force, commenced from Bida Road by Modebe Avenue, Fegge Onitsha.
The affected buildings include Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministries, shops and other perimeter fences
The structures were marked since April, 2022 and all developers and building owners served notice to remove them.
The government wishes to state that the demolition exercise is not targeted at any particular persons or groups.
It is rather in line with the move to recover the master plan of Onitsha and other cities in the state that have been serially abused and turned to slums.
The government assures builders and developers on appropriate sites to go about their normal businesses without fear of molestation.
