BREAKING NEWS: Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, has banned youth organisations from collecting levies from property developers across the state.
The State Commissioner for Information, Paul Nwosu, disclosed in a statement that the directive prohibits youth groups from demanding payments from individuals carrying out construction projects or improving existing structures on properly titled properties in Anambra.
According to Nwosu, the decision was reached during the State Executive Council meeting held on Thursday.
He described the practice as illegal, noting that it violates the Prohibition of Fraudulent Practices on Land and Property Law of 2012, which forbids unauthorised collection of fees on lands.
He added that anyone found demanding or collecting unapproved fees from property developers would face legal consequences, including up to five years imprisonment, a fine of ₦500,000, or both.
This move is aimed at protecting investors, encouraging development, and ensuring a more organised property environment in the state.
In my opinion, this is one of the best decisions from Governor Soludo — a step towards creating a safer and more business-friendly Anambra.
