More Trouble For Promoters Of "Okeite" Practices, As Anambra State Government Launches Investigation, Insists On "Full Weight Of Law".
......Approves Developmental Projects.
The Anambra State government has launched an investigation into native doctors suspected of engaging in fraudulent activities, particularly "get-rich-quick" schemes associated with "Okeite" practices. Commissioner for Information Law Mefor announced that security agencies are conducting thorough investigations, and those found guilty will face prosecution.
This move aligns with the 2025 Homeland Law, which aims to rid the state of criminal elements and regulate traditional medicine practices. The government is documenting traditional medicine practitioners but not registering or issuing practice certificates to them.
In addition to the crackdown on native doctors, the Anambra State government has approved several development projects, including:
- Nzam Headquarters Road Construction: The state government approved N801.5 million for the construction of the Nzam headquarters road in Anambra West Local Government Area. The project is expected to be completed in six weeks.
- Urban Boys Secondary School Development: The council approved N48.5 million for the construction of staff offices, an examination hall, and a laboratory building at Urban Boys Secondary School, Fegge, Onitsha South LGA.
- Community-Built Secondary Schools Takeover: The government approved requests from various communities for the takeover of their community-built secondary schools. These schools will be upgraded to meet public school standards, while their teachers will be integrated into the state's teaching workforce.
