Officials of the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) in Anambra State have demolished shanties and illegal stores defacing the capital city.
The areas where the agency demolished structures are Ngozika Housing Estate Road, Club Road, formerly Abakaliki Street, as well as Oby Okoli Avenue.

Speaking during the demolition, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ACTDA, Mr Ossy Onuko, stated that the operation would be a sustained effort in line with Governor Charles Soludo’s agenda of making Anambra a livable and prosperous homeland.
Mr Onuko regretted that despite the numerous warnings by the agency and other agencies of government, traders continued to construct shanties and traded along roadsides, and warned that the authority would continue to wage war against impunity in the capital city.
