The Government of Enugu State has announced the restoration of Plot No. P/23CA Independence Layout, Enugu, which was purportedly revoked without the governor’s approval pursuant to the Land Use Act, to the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in line with Allocation Reference No. LEN 29329/4 of 21st January 2011.
The restoration of the land to NULGE was contained in a letter to the union’s state president by the Commissioner for Lands and Urban Development, Nnanyelugo Chidi Aroh, dated November 16, 2021.
In the letter which was obtained by The Eastern Updates, Aroh disclosed that the action of the ministry came after ‘we have carefully reviewed the protest from your organisation (NULGE) and other affiliate bodies namely the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC).’
