This effort, announced during the community’s general assembly meeting at the traditional town hall square, is aimed at preventing land ownership disputes and fostering real estate development.
Led by the Peace and Development Committee Chairman, Donatus Agbodo, the community elders, leaders, youths, women, and general members have called on land buyers to regularize their documents to avoid future encumbrances. This move is part of a broader strategy to avert the land ownership crises that have hindered neighboring communities.
Spokesman for the community elders, Chief Emmanuel Edeonu, expressed confidence in the Agbodo-led leadership to drive the Ugwogo community’s role in developing the modern Enugu mega city initiative. He emphasized the importance of sanitizing the land administration process to support this goal.
The Traditional Head of Umunonu-Umuezeani, Chief Joseph Ugwumba highlighted the community’s efforts since 2014 to develop an industrial layout aimed at attracting investors. He urged investors to submit their original and photocopy title documents for verification and ratification to prevent future disputes.
“We entrust the Peace and Development Committee, led by Hon Donatus Agbodo, with the power of Attorney to ensure that all genuine investors secure their land titles. We welcome all legitimate investors to our peaceful community,” said Ugwumba.
Agbodo reiterated that the community’s actions are for posterity, ensuring that future investments are safeguarded. He reassured investors of the community’s peaceful environment and legal commitment to preventing the resale of land.
On his part, the legal adviser to the community, Chukwuemeka Agbo, called on the public to attend the verification sessions held every Monday at 10 AM in the town hall. He emphasized the importance of compliance for the development of the community and discouraged contrary announcements.
Theresa Edeonu, the women leader, and Chiedozie Eko, the youth leader, pledged their support to the Peace and Development Committee, committing to the community’s progress and unity.
