ACTDA Dislodges Street Trading, Begins Demolition Of Illegal Shanties 
 

By Ukpa Ewa

The Awka Capital Development Authority (ACTDA) on January 12, 2024, began the demolition of illegal structures on major roads, drainage lines, and walkways within the State Capital Territory.

The demolition exercise carried out at Unizik Tempsite, Regina Caeli junction, Oby Okoli Avenue, Okpuno, Abakiliki Street, and Club Road areas of Awka was a result of the expiration of several warning and demand notices served to those illegal traders which were ignored.

Speaking with journalists in Awka, the Managing Director, Awka Capital Development Authority Mr. Ossy Onuko said the outright demolition underscored the seriousness of Soludo's led administration about law and order restoration, insisting that the Agency would not condone any form of illegality across its jurisdiction.

Onuko, who spoke through the Head of the Department of Development and Control Unit, Mr. Charles Ekwunife said that the exercise has just begun and would cover areas where roads were taken over by street traders.

He advised traders to desist from setting up illegal structures and trading on the streets, as according to him, the government would leave no stone unturned to sanitize Awka of illegal structures and shanties.

"Those shanties put up on the road deface Awka. Take your goods to the market and sell them. There are roads and streets not meant for trading and Awka Capital Territory is one of them." 

Major shanties demolished by ACTDA were structures obstructing the free flow of movement, ones constructed under high-tension wires and street light poles.
