An estimated 480 landlords out of over 500 whose buildings were demolished for the construction of the Ekwulobia flyover have been compensated by Gov Charles Soludo of Anambra State.
This is coming as work on the N10.100 billion project has commenced in earnest which would last for 18 months as well as the construction of four adjoining roads to the town.
Confirming this development the President General of Ekwulobia People’s Assembly Nze Azubuike Izuchukwu said that the total number of buildings demolished is over 500 but that what is left for settlement is about ten percent.
“We are happy with the fly over Project because we never thought it was possible during our time but it is happening before us”
“It started with mix feelings among our people and some didn’t like it but they later accepted to allow the project and you know for you to get this type of development you have to pay some price for that,” he said.
