Barely two-and-half months into his administration, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state, takes the unpopular decision to demolish several properties on Federal Housing Estate, to make way for the proposed dualisation of Nike Lake Road, writes MIKE UBANI.
Andrew Okafor, 50, is an Enugu-based businessman. He raised a loan from a mortgage bank several years ago to construct a one-storey building at the Federal Housing Estate, Enugu, the Enugu state capital. The house is located on Nike Lake Road, Trans-Ekulu.
Interestingly, the building plan was accordingly approved by the federal ministry of housing, and beyond that the construction work itself was supervised by the same ministry consequent upon payment of the specified official fees.
It was reliably gathered that the specifications of the federal ministry of housing regarding “setback and working drawings”, were stringently complied with in the construction of the one-storey building.
Indeed, an official “setback” of three metres from the drain was specified by the federal ministry of housing for all structures at the Federal Housing Estate, Nike Lake Road, Enugu.
If one is coming from PENOKS, the housing estate lies on the right hand side – up to the popular NOWAS bus stop, while the state-owned housing estate is on the left hand side of that same road
