Enugu Inaugurates Land Reconciliation, Compensation Committee

According to him, they are to resolve all issues of land acquisition, recommend the amount of compensation to be paid and ensure that the compensation is paid to the right owners.

Responding on behalf of members, the commissioner for Justice thanked the state government for setting up the committee to deal with land and property matters.

“This government has a human face in whatever it does. We know, we are about to embark on massive infrastructural development from the city to the nooks and crannies of the state.

“And of course, we know that the infrastructural development will from time to time affect the status quo where people live and how people live.

“And we know that when they are affected, there should be mechanism in place to cushion the adverse effect of this development,’’ Udeh said.

He pledged that the committee would discharge its responsibilities creditably to ensure that no one was left behind and free the state from unnecessary litigations.
