Abia Government Demolishes Unauthorized Structures in Umuahia Market Area

The Abia State Government, through the Umuahia Capital Development Authority (UCDA), has begun demolishing buildings erected without approval in the former Umuahia market, popularly called Ogwumabiri. UCDA General Manager, Kingsley Agomoh, said on Monday that the demolition is part of the state’s plan to transform Umuahia into a modern, world-class capital.
