To enable the Enugu state government to embark on the dualising projects on some roads in the state, especially the Ugwuogo-Opi-Nsukka Road, final notice of demolition has been given to owners of houses and property marked for demolition along the affected roads.
To make this effective, those affected have been given up to twenty-four hours to vacate before bulldozers move into action.
The demolition notice signed by the Public Relations Officer, Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Ngozi Ngene, said an earlier notice had been given since October 30th, 2024, hence the issuance of the final notice.
“This is to inform the general public, particularly property owners, residents and business owners in the affected areas, that the Enugu state government is commencing the demolition of marked structures along the 44.1km Nike Lake Road dualization Project (Peenox – Nowas – Ugwogo – Opi Nsukka dualization, Abakpa Nike – Opi Nsukka Junction) and also the marked structures along the 21.5km Enugu Airport Road Flyover Bridge – Eke Obinagu – Owo Junction – Amechi Idodo – Ebonyi State Border within 24 hours.
“It is important to note that this is a follow-up to our earlier notifications issued on October 30, 2024. Additionally, a field inspection and evaluation of structures for compensation purposes were conducted from November 4 to November 11, 2024.
“You are hereby advised to remove all your belongings and vacate the premises with immediate effect to avoid damage and/or loss of life.
“Please direct all complaints to the Land/Property Reconciliation and Compensation Committee, Abuja Building, Government House, Enugu,” the notice reads in part.
