BACK TO LAND: What Soludo’s New Clean Up Means For Property Owners And Investors In Anambra
The Anambra State government has resumed the massive removal of illegal structures across major towns. Property owners, landlords, shanty occupants, sand miners, and street traders have been given forty eight hours to clear their structures from restricted areas as the Operation Clean Healthy Anambra begins full enforcement.
The government is also cracking down on houses without proper septic tanks and properties that channel waste onto public roads. Offenders will be arrested, prosecuted, and could face fines or jail time. Street traders blocking major roads will also be arrested and their goods confiscated.
Mobile courts are now active to ensure quick judgment for offenders.
According to the Managing Director of Ocha Brigade, Celestine Anere, the agency has recruited two hundred additional personnel to enforce the laws and keep Anambra clean and healthy. He expressed concern about persistent environmental abuse, especially in areas like Onitsha, Head Bridge, and Upper Iweka, despite the presence of public toilets.
He made it clear that the era of pleading for offenders is over. Anyone caught engaging in public urination, defecation, blocking drainage, or dumping waste in gutters will face the law immediately.
The Brigade will also intensify the fight against street trading in Eke Awka, Onitsha, and other locations. The law empowers the agency to arrest offenders and take them straight to court. Anere noted that leniency in the past led to poor compliance, but this time enforcement will be strict and consistent.
The agency is working hand in hand with the police to ensure full compliance. All vehicle operators including Keke, bus, and tipper drivers must stop disposing of waste on the road. Every vehicle is now required to have a small waste container. Tipper drivers must also cover their loads properly to prevent sand and debris from falling on the road.
There is also an executive order banning sand mining in areas like Ekwulobia, Ogbu, Oko, Nnaka, and Amaokpala without proper approval. Any mining site operating without a valid permit will be shut down. This move aims to protect newly constructed roads from damage caused by illegal mining.
The Ocha Brigade will continue clearing drainage channels to prevent flooding and health hazards. Residents are urged to support the agency by reporting anyone who disposes of waste improperly or engages in activities that damage the environment.
Real Estate Angle:
For investors, property owners, and developers, this is a strong reminder that compliance is no longer optional. Illegal structures, blocked drainage, poor sanitation, and unapproved land use can lead to demolition and major financial loss. On the positive side, a cleaner and more organized Anambra increases property value, boosts investor confidence, and strengthens the long term appeal of real estate in the state.
A clean environment is good business. A compliant environment protects your investment.
HE THAT HAS EARS, LET HIM HEAR.
