The Rivers State Government has warned against carrying out any physical development without obtaining the necessary approvals from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.
The government specifically warned individuals, corporate organisations and other stakeholders to heed the directive.
It said the ministry is the only legally recognised authority empowered to regulate physical planning and urban development in any part of the state.
It emphasised that anyone who contravenes due process will face legal consequences.
The state Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Amairigha Edward-Hart, disclosed this in a special public announcement signed on Monday and obtained by our correspondent.
Edward-Hart outlined the ministry’s statutory responsibilities and urged strict compliance with existing laws.
The statement said, “The public is hereby notified that the ministry is legally empowered to implement the state’s development plans, including master plans, action plans and neighbourhood plans.”
