Taskforce Chairman Restates Delta Govt’s Commitment To  Land Recovery Mission

Delta state Government has pledged to recover government lands that have been illegally acquired by land grabbers in the state. 

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com  noted that  Chairman of the State Taskforce on Land Recovery and Outright Demolition Committee, Chief Frank Omare  said this during the meeting  he held with occupiers of landed property  at the Dennis Osadebay University, Anwai-Asaba at the Government House, Asaba. 

Chief Omare said any existing building on the University land without Certificate of Occupancy would be demolished,  submitting  that many people have encroached on government lands without recourse to the law guiding land acquisition. 

He warned that there would be no sacred cow when it comes to reclaiming government lands and he has advised anyone without C Of O to relocate as illegal structures in the affected areas would not be spared. 

Chief Omare urged Deltans to ensure that they follow legal means before acquiring any land as defaulters will face unpleasant consequences. 

Giving his speech, the Vice- Chancellor, Dennis Osadebay University, Anwai-Asaba, Professor Ben Oghojafor thanked Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for constituting the committee to recover the university  land  that had been encroached on by illegal land speculators,  pointing out that a lot of persons have built on government lands. 

Professor Oghojafor  also debunked rumours that the  management  team of the institution was involved in land racketeering, submitting that no effort would be spared in recovering the lands. 

Some owners of illegally acquired properties however appealed to the state government to temper justice with mercy, adding that thorough investigation should be carried out to ascertain those with Certificate of Occupancy-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
