The Enugu State Government has commenced the demolition of marked structures along two major roads in the state.

The affected areas include:
Marked structures along the 44.1km Nike Lake Road Dualization Project road, specifically in Peenox-Nowas-Ugwuogo-Opi NSUKKA and Abakpa Nike-Opi Nsukka Junction, will be demolished.

Marked structures along the 21.5km Enugu Airport Road Flyover Bridge road, specifically in Eke Obinagu-Owo Junction, Amechi Idodo, and Ebonyi Border, will also be demolished.

Residents and property owners are advised to remove their belongings and vacate the premises immediately to avoid damage and loss of life. The government had previously marked the affected structures and issued notices to property owners.

All complaints should be directed to the Lands/Property Reconciliation and Compensation Committee at the Abuja Building, Government House, Enugu.

This demolition is part of the state government’s efforts to develop and expand its infrastructure. The project aims to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents.

The Enugu State Government assures residents that the demolition is necessary for the greater good and that adequate compensation will be provided to affected property owners.
