The
attention of the Anambra State Government has been drawn to the demonstration
which took place at Onitsha today, August 18, 2014 over ownership of a primary
school at Oyolu – Oze, Nkwelle – Ezunaka, in Oyi Local Government Area.
Government
observes that the Nkwelle Ezunaka community and the Anglican Communion are
locked in a dispute over the ownership of the said Oyolu – Oze Primary School.
Already,
Governor Obiano had set up a six man committee headed by the deputy governor to
investigate the contending issues and submit a report on their findings within
two weeks.
Government
observes that the Committee is presently only in the fourth day of its two week
time frame to present a report and calls on all parties to allow peace and due
process to reign.
As a
democratic and law–abiding government, the administration of His Excellency,
Chief Willie Obiano upholds the right of peaceful protests by citizens. However
such protests must be within the ambit of the law.
Government
wishes to assure all citizens that it is committed to promotion of justice,
peace and fair play and calls on all citizens to remain calm and law abiding.
Signed
Chief
Tony Onyima
Hon
Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism
Anambra
State
