The people of Enugwu village, Adazi-Enu community, in the Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, have celebrated the decision of the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, to an end to a 40-year-old autonomous system and the agitations for the creation of autonomous communities in their domain and other parts of the state.
The development came after the decision of the Supreme Court voiding autonomous community system.
Thousands of residents of the community gathered at the village square on Sunday, where they celebrated to express their support for the decision, as well as show gratitude to the governor for putting an end to the age-long system.
Autonomous community system is a way of balkanisation of existing communities into smaller units as “autonomous communities” and it is one major source of communal crisis in many Igbo communities, fuelling crisis and border disputes across communities over the years.
