Edo State Public Property Protection committee

Today, the Chairman and members of the Edo State Public Property Protection Committee carried out a site visit at ikpoba okha LGA following reports of massive encroachments on lands within the area. The visit was aimed at assessing the situation firsthand and engaging on matters relating to the protection of public properties and land use compliance.

Additionally, several meetings were held at the Committee’s office, including deliberations concerning issues of illegal occupants in Evbodia Community and other matters relating to public property management and encroachments.

The Committee remains committed to safeguarding public properties, addressing violations, and ensuring proper regulation in the interest of Edo State and its people.

Following the Chairman of the Edo State Public Property Protection Committee's visit to a borrow pit site that had dangerously encroached into a community and posed a serious threat to nearby residents, homes, and a school environment, immediate steps were taken to address the situation.

After meeting with stakeholders involved, a directive was issued for the immediate barricading of the area to safeguard lives and prevent possible accidents.

Today, that directive has been carried out, and the borrow pit has now been properly barricaded, reducing the risk to residents and especially school children within the area.

Protecting lives and public safety remains a priority.
