An activist, IFEANYICHUKWU OKONKWO has threatened to institute legal proceedings against the Governor of Anambra State, CHARLES SOLUDO and two other public officers for attempting to alter the “Land Use Act” through a proposed land title revalidation and recertification in the State.
OKONKWO issued the threat in a pre-action notice to the Secretary to the Anambra State Government, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Anambra State and the Commissioner for Lands, Survey and Urban Planning, Anambra State, dated October 22, 2024.
Recall that the Anambra State Government had in a public notice through the Ministry of Lands, announced the commencement of the mandatory Revalidation and Recertification of all land title documents, including those of both State and Private Lands.
However, in his pre-action notice, OKONKWO who is an indigene of Nnobi Community in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, described the proposed “Re-Certification” and “Revalidation” of Land documents in the State as an attempt to alter the Land Use Act 1978, stressing that the proposed exercise is illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.
