Developers Buying Land At 3R Layout Are Risking Their Money, Imo Govt Warns

The Imo State Government through the Ministry of Lands, Survey and Physical Planning has warned the public that those buying land at 3R Layout are doing so at their own risk.

He advised the public to always do due diligence by going through Ministry of Lands before engaging in any land transaction as ignorance is not an excuse.

The letter reads:”It has come to the attention of government that some persons are deceiving the unsuspecting public and selling 3R residential layout, PortHarcourt Road to them. What government advertised at Port Harcourt Road is Shared Prosperity Layout.

“The Ministry of Lands, Survey and Physical Planning whose mandate it is to acquire lands on behalf of the government is by this notice informing the general public that government has no 3R layout at PortHarcourt Road.

“The 3R Residential Layout of Government is situated at Onitsha Road, opposite Alvana Secondary School.
