Anambra State Government joint Taskforce has pulled down an ongoing Shopping Mall in Onitsha.
The mall which is under construction is situated at Nwangene Stream/River Niger Water Ways Niger Street, Fegge in Onitsha South Council Area.
The Joint Taskforce led by officials of Anambra State Physical Planning Board stormed the area at the early hours of Friday; September, 22, 2023, to stop the action of a developer who was erecting the unapproved shopping mall.
The structure is being built on original waterways and drainages thereby endangering the lives of unsuspecting future occupants and the people around the area.
Recall that the Taskforce team had before now served stop work notice on the developer who remained recalcitrant.
Speaking on the development, Chairman the Board of Trustees of Progress Market, Mr. Ekene Okoye and the Chairman of the market, Mr. Nnamdi Igwebuike claimed not to know the builder but condemned the action of the builder, while commending government's effort to restore normalcy to the area.
Government of Anambra State, especially under the current administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo had been advocating the need for controlled development across the state.
