Enugu state government has issued an order stopping all construction and development activities at the Milliken Hill Ngwo Enugu.
A statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information Hon Nnanyelugo Chidi Aroh urged those concerned to vacate the place as the full wrath of the law will be visited on anyone found violating the order.
The government condemned all illegal construction works and development on Milliken Hill, resulting in the destruction of its enviable landscape and exposing the entire environment to risk of degradation and erosion.
“It is important to state categorically, that the State Government is not in any way involved in this callous activity, as all relevant agencies of Government, including the Ministry of Environment and the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA), did not grant any approval as required by law before the commencement of the development.”
