A duplex believed to belong to the embattled former Commissioner for Land and Urban Development in Enugu state, Victor Nnam, located in the Diamond City Estate, Enugu, has been  marked for demolition by the State Government.

The Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) alleged that he built the duplex without its approval.

The authority ordered that the structure be removed within 14 days.

The order was dated November 9.

Speculations are rife that the demolition order is not unconnected with his publicizing his letter of resignation which was said to have angered the State Government.

Recall that the Commissioner resigned his appointment from the Cabinet last month in controversial circumstances.

According to him, the State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, turned down his proposal for a Geometric Information System (GIS) land administration intended to stamp out corrupt practices.

“The reason for my resignation is the recent removal of the professional heads of the department under me on punitive grounds for simply doing their jobs diligently”, he said in his resignation letter.

“My conscience will no longer allow me to continue to serve your administration while those innocent professional senior civil servants are punished for doing the right thing.”
