Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

 Anambra Government to Develop Compensation Framework for Property Owners Affected by Power Transmission Project


By Chukwuka Ugokwe


The Anambra State Government says it is developing a framework to facilitate compensation for property owners whose buildings and lands will be affected by the establishment of the right-of-way for a proposed 132KV electricity transmission line project.


The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Barr. Chijioke Ojukwu, disclosed this while briefing journalists in his office on July 15, assuring affected property owners that the government would ensure a transparent and fair compensation process.


The proposed transmission line, an initiative of the Federal Government through the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), will pass through Nnobi, Awka-Etiti and Nnewi communities, expecting to strengthen electricity supply in Nnewi and neighbouring communities while supporting economic growth across the state.


According to Ojukwu, the government has completed the identification and marking of the right-of-way and will soon invite affected property owners for documentation and verification of their claims.


He explained that the process would include the collation of relevant documents, determination of compensation where applicable, and the publication of an official gazette revoking affected properties in line with legal requirements.


"Where public infrastructure requires private land, overriding public interest takes precedence. We have identified and marked the right-of-way, and affected property owners will be invited for documentation. Government will work out the modalities for compensation and the conditions under which it will be paid," he said.


The commissioner noted that the completion of the transmission project would significantly improve power supply, stimulate industrial activities and reinforce Anambra's position as a major commercial and manufacturing hub.


He appealed to affected residents and other stakeholders to cooperate with the government, expressing confidence that the Soludo administration would handle the process with fairness and due consideration for those affected.


Ojukwu reiterated the state's commitment to delivering critical infrastructure projects that will enhance economic development and improve the quality of life of residents across Anambra State.
