The Rivers
State Task Force on Recovery of Government Properties has issued a 7-Day Quit
Notice to illegal occupants of the State ADP Farm Site at Rumuodomaya, asking
them to vacate the area.
The Task Force
also declared that it will implement its quit notice served on illegal
occupants of Government Properties at the New GRA in Port Harcourt.
The Task
Force on Recovery of Government Properties on Friday carried out an operation
to recover Government Properties illegally occupied by unauthorised persons.
In an interview, Secretary of the Rivers State Task Force on Recovery of Government Properties, Chief Hanny Woko said all those who illegally occupied Government have 7 days to vacate the properties.
He said:
“We will recover every inch of Government land. Any Government land
anywhere that was illegally acquired will be recovered. Government will take back
all its properties. We are guided by the law.
“It is
so disheartening and heartbreaking that people will move into Government
Quarters and acquire same. Wherever Government Properties are located and
illegally occupied, we recover same. We have given the illegal occupants 7-days
to vacate or be evicted.”
He stated
that there will be no compensation for those who illegally took over Government
lands at the ADP Farm Site at Rumuodomaya.
Chief Woko
said those who illegally took over Government lands and properties will face
the consequences of their illegal actions.
The Task
Force on Recovery of Government Properties erected relevant notices warning
illegal occupants to keep away from designated Government Properties identified
during the operation.
