Enugu community dismisses allegations of land grabbing against ministry
President General of the community Hon Barr Sunday Ngene, who addressed the press alongside some Executive members also exonerated the community from a certain petition to that effect.
Giving insight into the true situation of things, he said, “We want to state that it was Ugwuaji Awkunanaw communities, owners of the approved layouts that approached Enugu State government through the Ministry of Housing to partner with them to develop their various layouts. Those who are behind such publication are mischief makers and for selfish interest. They are not pursuing the interest of the community.
For avoidance of doubts, we hereby state that we do not have any problem with the state government or ministry of housing over our land and the public should disregard such publication by mischievous people. The local government gives you directive on the nature of structures they want for a particular layout, whether high-rise buildings or otherwise.
“There was no petition from the community. As the Chief Scribe of the traditional institution, such a thing should have emanated from my desk, but that was not the case. So, those behind such fallacies obviously did not speak for the community; we neither know their sponsors nor their motives.“For too long, Ugwuaji had not been quite favoured like other communities in terms of provision of amenities.
