with the HOD Works of the Council,Engr. Ibiam O. Inya as Chairman.

Speaking during the inauguration that took place is in his office at Afikpo,Hon. Uche Ibiam explained that the constitution of the Taskforce became imperative in view of the indiscriminate erection of structures within  the Council Area  without approval from Government and charged members of the taskforce to be effective in the discharge of  their duties.

He  used the opportunity to call on estate developers, building contractors, and other prospective property owners to follow due process  before commencing construction of their  intended properties as his administration will not condone unapproved structures in any part of the Area and  warned members of the Taskforce against sharp practices. He  implored them to among other things ensure that buildings are duly registered and constructed to standard as well as ensure that estate developers do not block right of ways and water ways.

In response,the Head of Works Department of Afikpo North Local Government who doubles as Chairman of the Taskforce,Engr.
