T A Orji To Demolish 1800 Houses In Aba

Governor
Theodore Orji of Abia State has threatened to pull down 1,800 buildings
allegedly built on sewer lanes in Aba. Orji issued the threat on Monday
in Umuahia, while briefing newsmen on the plans by his administration
to transform the commercial town. He said
that efforts so far made to build the city had been stalled by
flooding, which resulted from the blocking of drains and sewer lanes.

The governor said, the problem of Aba is flooding. So, for you to
succeed in developing the city you have to carry out flood control. “An
aerial and land survey had been conducted and 1,800 houses are built on
drainage.” Orji alleged that the owners did not secure approval before
erecting the structures and charged them to “look for alternatives
elsewhere.”
