My people, make I land this gist wey dey hot like jollof rice. Na Anambra State Government don enter ground to enforce development for Awka Millennium City Estate. Dem dey call this one Operation Keep Awka Clean, and as e be, dem don start to dey rattle developers wey don slack for their lands.
Ossy Onuko, wey be the Managing Director of the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA), na im drop this bombshell during one enforcement waka wey dem carry go Agu-Awka. E talk say many developers collect land from government but dem no fit do anything after three years. Wetin happen? Na wetin we no fit understand o!
Onuko say dis enforcement no be wahala for developers but motivation for dem to start construction, make the estate shine like the star wey e suppose be. He talk say dem dey find way to stop all this land wahala and make sure say all lands fit work for the residents wey dey find beta living conditions.
Make I clear una, Charles Ekwunife, the Head of Development Control Unit for ACTDA, don yarn say development for dis estate dey move too slow. E even flex am as “disappointing.” Na bad news for people wey dey expect make the estate turn spot for fine living. Dem don sign MOU wey say development suppose don dey high level within three years, but e be like say some people dey slack.
Mrs Nwanneka Nwachukwu, wey be the Facility Manager, come join di gist, say dem don try every means to ginger property owners. E no dey easy, as dem don send emails, hold meetings, and run sensitisation programs. But wetin? Development still no pass 20%. She praise ACTDA for the quick move wey dem carry come, as e dey align with the aim to make the community dey work well.
No be small matter na, earlier for December 2025, di government don start to demolish illegal structures, shanties, and buildings wey dey cover drainages. Di aim na to clean Awka, boost security and prevent flooding. Dem don remove plenty buildings wey no follow the rules, so this one na serious action to make sure say we dey live for beta environment.
As I dey close dis report, make I remind una say di government dey serious this time around. No be just talk, e don show dem dey mean business. We dey watch as e go turn out for Awka Millennium City Estate. Make we follow the gist, we go see wetin the future hold for di fine wale.
