Anambra community resolves land crisis and directs developers to resume work

After more than five years of land and leadership disputes in Ifite Nteje, Anambra State, the parties reached a peace agreement and directed developers, investors and landowners to resume work. Nnamdi Obi, chairman of the Ifite Nteje Development Union, announced a Land Revalidation Committee to liaise with investors, monitor activities and address grievances, including compensation concerns. The dispute involved the community’s land management committee, elders and youths, on one side, and the Divine Heaven’s Gate Amalgamated Landlords Association, on the other. Community leaders urged the new committee to protect peace and support local development.
