Delta State Government (DTSG), through officials of the Ministry of Urban Renewal, has sealed off various building sites and ordered stoppage of further work by developers for violating sundry building regulations in the state.
The Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mrs. Charity Ehimen, re-assured the public of the zero tolerance of the ministry for violation of approved building plans and other regulations set up by the state government for property development in the state.
She added that the exercise would continue to ensure sanity in urban development in the state.
She enjoined property developers to discontinue the use of sub-standard materials, saying that such acts were unprofessional and counter-productive.
The ministry’s hammer fell on erring developers in places such as Asaba-Ibusa Expressway, Asaba-Benin Expressway, Ibusa Road Asaba, Nnebisi Road Asaba, Okpanam Town and Off Old Lagos Bypass, at Okpanam Post Office area, among many others.
