Enugu govt postpones stakeholders’ townhall meeting on Land sector development to January 29

Enugu State Government has announced Thursday, January 29, new date for its previously scheduled stakeholders’ town hall meeting on land sector development.

Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dr. Malachy Agbo , disclosed that in a statement made available to Newsmen on Monday.

According to the statement, the townhall meeting will still hold at The Dome Hall, Enugu International Conference Centre, at 10:00 am. prompt.

The commissioner said the townhall meeting forms part of the ongoing reforms and development initiatives in the state’s land sector and is aimed at providing stakeholders with clear, accessible, and up-to-date information on land administration and development in Enugu State.

He explained that the engagement aligns with the commitment of the administration of Governor Peter Mbah to transparency, public participation, and the establishment of a modernised land management framework capable of safeguarding the rights and investments of landowners, developers, and investors.

According to him, the session will also provide participants the opportunity to receive firsthand directives from the Governor on land sector reforms, gain clarity on their roles and responsibilities in land administration, and identify proactive measures for protecting communities and investments.

“The meeting is designed to deepen stakeholder understanding of government policies, promote orderly land administration, and strengthen confidence in Enugu State as a preferred investment destination,” the statement said.

As earlier announced, the townhall remains open to a wide range of stakeholders, including individual landowners, families and community landholders, estate developers, residents, community layout coordinators, surveyors, land buyers and agents, property lawyers, professional bodies, traditional rulers and town unions, business operators, religious organisations, financial institutions, academic and research institutions, media organisations, civil society groups, development partners, and other concerned citizens.

The government urged all relevant stakeholders to take note of the new date and attend the engagement, describing it as a critical step toward building a transparent, investor-friendly, and sustainable land management system in the state.
