Anambra Govt To Recover Lands, Awards Several Strategic Projects
By Abdullahi Yusuf
The 25th Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) has taken several important decisions aimed at positively impacting the lives of the people of the state.
The council took the decisions in its meeting which took place at the Lighthouse, Awka, on December 15, 2025.
This is contained in a statement issued by the state Commissioner of Information, Dr. Law Mefor.
“ANSEC once again emphasised that erosion is an existential issue in Anambra State, citing the careless actions of communities and regulatory bodies that have disregarded environmental regulations.
“For instance, some residents direct stormwater from their homes onto the roads, where it accumulates in different ways and contributes to the erosion crisis currently affecting Anambra State.
“ANSEC decided to step up enforcement to force people to build and manage storm waters from their houses and for communities to follow specific guidelines, like building erosion barriers and excavating sand only in locations that have been allowed,”Mefor said.
He said the council had also resolved to form a committee to reclaim government lands in and around the state “after hearing another report about people blatantly intruding on government lands and building on them without permission.”
He said the council had also approved the release of N95,239,056.80 for the provision of water supply to the Ekwulobia Flyover Bridge Fountain and the ornamental garden awarded to Double NC Construction & Logistics Ltd.
Furthermore, ANSEC approved the release of the sum of N172,028,797.10 for landscaping the car park for the Trauma Centre at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital (COOUTH), Amaku, Awka, Anambra State, awarded to Triseconds Resources Ltd.
Similarly, the commissioner disclosed, the council approved the release of the sum of N93,416,220.52 for the installation of a 3-way traffic light, including pedestrian lights, at the Ifite-Amenyi intersection within Awka metropolis, awarded to S.N.U. Ventures
Other releases he said, were those of the sum of N50,449,487.93 for the supply and installation of two 10 kVA inverters with 15 kW lithium batteries at the Anambra State Civil Service Commission Building in Awka, awarded to Kennolly Enterprises.
And that of the sum of N119,111,045.97 for the supply and installation of transformer substations at 2 locations (Nnewi & Umueze-Anam communities) awarded to Aries and Gold Ventures Ltd and Aljovic Construction Ltd.,Dr.Mefor added.
