 Okwudili Urges Communities to Adopt Building Layouts


 By Ruth Orji 


The Head of Development Control, Anambra State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ngozi Okwudili, has urged communities to develop layouts guiding building development.


Okwudili made the call during an enforcement exercise at Nawfia, Oye-Agu, Odoakpu and Trans-Nkisi area on September 1, 2026.


She advised community leaders and stakeholders to establish approved layouts serving as guides for prospective builders and ensuring compliance with physical planning laws and building regulations.


According to her, the existence of standard layouts would provide clear development guidelines for intending builders, reduce indiscriminate construction and minimise persistent violations of building regulations.


Okwudili explained that the demolition of a building  under construction at the Nawfia Market followed the developers’ failure to provide the required 45 percent parking space.


She said the affected structures consequently failed to comply with stipulated building regulations, including requirements governing parking provision and mandatory building setbacks.


Okwudili further stated that no individual had the right to erect structures on existing roads, citing developments observed at Onuma Street, Odoakpu and Trans-Nkisi both Onitsha North Local Government Area.


She reiterated the importance of observing prescribed setbacks and obtaining the necessary physical planning approvals before commencing construction, warning that non-compliance could result in enforcement and demolition.
