Delta State
The Delta state government has warned all trespassers on the land belonging to Madonna School for Children with Special Needs located in Okpanam, Oshimili North local council to desist from such act.
Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr. Festus Agas gave the warning during a visit to the school to ascertain the extent of encroachment on the premises. He said the state government has decided to engage all the stakeholders, including the traditional institutions in Okpanam, youths, management of the school, and some of the trespassers to find an amicable solution to the problem.
Mr. Agas who was accompanied by the State Surveyor General, Mr. Joseph Ogabu, disclosed that the school has been shut down temporarily as a result of the massive encroachment and urged all developers on the land to obtain relevant permit and approval from the state government.
He noted that management of the school was rendering humanitarian services to the inmates and should be encouraged.
According to him, any breach of the state government’s warning would amount to a breach of public safety and security, adding that government would not hesitate to act accordingly.
