ACTDA Cracks Down on Illegal Structures to Prevent Flooding in Awka
The Awka Capital Territory Development Authority has launched an enforcement operation to remove illegal buildings obstructing waterways and drainage channels across the city. Officials warn that structures built on natural watercourses are a leading cause of flooding and environmental hazards. The authority is also cracking down on land speculators selling or allocating waterways to unsuspecting buyers. Any structure found blocking drainage paths will be demolished without further notice. Residents are encouraged to report blocked drains, illegal buildings, or waterway encroachments through the authority’s designated contact line for prompt action.
