“The facility is well-fenced. But it is surprising to see these structures here.”
The Anambra State Government has directed “land grabbers” and owners of illegal structures within the premises of Awka Township Stadium to vacate the facility.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Mr Onyedum inspected the abandoned gatehouse, collapsed indoor sports hall and the overall layout of the stadium area. He added that the state government, through the Ministry of Lands and the Urban Planning Office, would move in to take full possession. “So, we are calling on individuals or groups of persons trespassing into the stadium or erecting structures to stop forthwith,” the commission chairperson said.
