As part of the Abia State Government policy on Aba Urban Renewal, the state government has said it will be embarking on a massive infrastructural rehabilitation of government buildings and all abandoned projects in the Aba metropolis.
A statement by Godwin Adindu,the Chief Press Secretary to the governor said one of such buildings is the long-abandoned, seven-storey edifice of the Eyimba Hotel complex near the Aba waterside.
“Government is aware that over the years, all manners of miscreants and illegal squatters have turned the place to their abode.
“Government is therefore serving notice to all the illegal occupants in the building to vacate the place within one week of this notice, as the relevant government agencies are ready to commence a massive rehabilitation work on the building.
According to the CPS “Government is also using the opportunity to direct all illegal squatters in all government buildings or premises in the state to quickly vacate the places before the arrival of the government functionaries who have been mandated to commence work on such structures.
