Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ebonyi State government says it will begin the demolition of illegal structures in the capital city, Abakaliki.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner for Capital City Development, Mr Sunday Inyima, said this while briefing newsmen in Abakaliki, saying that the affected residential buildings and shops would include all those structures built without laid-down physical planning standards.<\/p>\n

Inyima, who fixed February 15 for the commencement of the exercise, noted that the state government was committed to promoting good governance for the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me inform the general public that the State Ministry of Capital City Development will commence demolition of illegal structures within Abakaliki from February 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exercise will start from illegal structures already marked along Water Works Road and Hausa Quarters Area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe property owners and developers have been served with demolition notices and we advise them to remove those structures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have informed the Hausa community. They are complying and assured that they will help the government in removing them by themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also affect all the slums and other informal business centres in those areas,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

On the reason for the exercise, the commissioner said it was aimed at enabling proper planning of the streets and beautification of the capital city.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government wants Abakaliki to look cleaner and beautiful like every other big city across the country, \u201d Inyima added.<\/p>\n
