We Don’t Want Slums In Uyo – UCCDA Boss Roars
By UbongAbasi Ise
The Chairman of Uyo Capital
City Development Authority (UCCDA), Prince Enobong Uwah has said his agency will
not fold its hands to watch the city of Uyo turned into a shanty town.
Commenting recently on the
ongoing demolition by UCCDA, Uwah said the operation is to maintain sanity in
the capital city.
He called on residents of Uyo
to desist from erecting illegal structures considered odd to the aesthetics of Akwa Ibom biggest city.
The Chairman frowned at encroachment
of shanties on the highbrow axis of Udo Udoma Avenue where important
public and private institutions including the Akwa Ibom State House of
Assembly, Central Bank of Nigeria, New Dakkada Secretariat, Ibom Tropicana, the
Nigerian Army Quarters, the High Court, among others are located.
The demolition exercise, which
to-k off from Idoro Road proceeded to the Udo Udoma Avenue where illegal
structures such as containers, makeshift shops , sign posts, fences and other
forms of unauthorized buildings were brought down.
The UCCDA Chairman underscored
the need to revert to the Master Plan of the city, warning defaulters and owners
of already demolished structures from going back to rebuild new ones as the
Authority is closely monitoring Uyo metropolis to forestall defacement of the
Capital City and non-compliance to development processes.
