There was jubilation in Enugu State on Friday as Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi formally restored 230 plots of land belonging to the health workers of the state, which were purportedly revoked by the immediate past Commissioner for Lands and Urban Development without the consent of the governor.
Addressing the health workers when they visited him at the Government House, Enugu, on the purported revocation of their land registered as Villa Estate in Ozalla Abor, Enugu, Ugwuanyi expressed dismay, saying the land was revoked without his consent, contrary to the Land Use Act.
Reiterating the commitment of his administration to the wellbeing of the people of the state, Ugwuanyi disclosed that the state government would formalise the land and give it back to the health workers, amid jubilation.
