Enugu, Dec. 30, 2020 (NAN) Enugu State Government says it is determined to resolve all pending land matters involving estate developers and host communities in the state.
The state Commissioner for Lands, Chief Victor Nnam, announced this on Wednesday in Enugu.
Nnam was reacting to a peaceful protest by youths of Obeagu Awkunawnaw community in Enugu South Local Government Area over the disputed land.
He said that the state government was not unmindful of activities of some developers whom, he said, were blackmailing the government while attempting to acquire land in the state.
On the disputed parcel of land in Obeagu Awkunanaw, the commissioner said that the state government had in 2009 allocated 1,097 hectares in the area to Private Estate West Africa (PEWA) Ltd. for the development of a modern city.
