Supervising the demolition exercise on Friday 3-06-2022, the Special Adviser and General Manager of Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA) Engr. Francis Chukwu explained that Government took the drastic action as a result of the fact that the ongoing building was an illegal structure that was not approved by the Government through the Agency.

The OCDA General Manager maintained that Governor Uzodimma’s Shared Prosperity Government remains absolutely uncompromising in its determination to put things in the proper places for the setting of long lasting standards.
