Mr. Onuko who said that for Anambra to become fulfill the vision of Governor Chukwuma Soludo has promised Ndi Anambra, residents of the state must learn how to abide by the laws governing the state and the capital city.

He revealed that the land in Agu-Awka which his team levelled an ongoing building under construction was acquired by a church, but some irates youths in connivance with disgruntled elements chased them away and resold the same land, an abnormally he noted would not stand under his watch.

The ACTDA boss advised all developers within the capital territory to always visit the agency to get right approvals before commencing any construction to avoid unnecessary demolitions.

He made it clear that he will continue to implement the mission and vision of ACTDA at all times to be intandem with the developmental agenda of Governor Soludo and warned unscrupulous developers and land grabbers to leave the city or be ready to face the consequences of their actions.

At every demolition site, the team were being applauded by the residents and commuters for restoring sanity and discipline in Awka Capital Territory.

Okay.

Back then, Akpabio compensated people well for demolition of buildings.

But humans are wicked. Because Akpabio paid well, people intentionally went to yet-to-be-developed places and began to erect structures where future road construction would affect those structures. They boldly said they do it for compensation in future. Some of them who didn't have any portion of land in those undeveloped places began to buy land very close to road maps in those areas.

Is not all about demolition is to build proper structures.
