The Umuahia Capital Development Authority (UCDA) has announced plans to demolish illegal structures built along the waterways of Ogurube Layout in Umuahia. General Manager Kingsley Agomoh made this announcement to local journalists, explaining that the deadline for owners of these structures had passed. Agomoh highlighted the significant issue of flooding and disruption to the local ecosystem due to the encroachment of these unauthorized constructions.
He emphasized the need to protect the natural waterways and improve the drainage system to prevent such problems in the future. The UCDA General Manager also noted that several government offices, including those of the National Population Commission and Federal Pay Office, have already been affected by flooding due to these illegal structures.
The planned demolition of these structures aligns with the Development Control Regulations 2021, and Agomoh stressed that the waterways, which extend from Une Isieke to Winners' Church, should not be obstructed by any unapproved developments.
