The Anambra State Government has vowed to reclaim government lands illegally acquired across the state and has commenced plans to set up a committee for the recovery of such properties.
The state Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, disclosed this in a statement released on Tuesday following the 25th Anambra State Executive Council meeting held at the Government House, Lighthouse, Awka, on December 15, 2025.
Mefor said the council took several key decisions at the meeting, including the constitution of a committee to reclaim government lands currently under illegal occupation.
“After hearing another report about people blatantly intruding on government lands and building on them without permission, the council resolved to form a committee to reclaim these government lands in and around Anambra State,” he said.
He noted that the council also reiterated its position that erosion remains an existential threat to the state, blaming the worsening situation on the careless actions of some residents and regulatory lapses.
