The Uyo Capital City Development Authority (UCCDA) has inaugurated a Special Development Control Enforcement Team (SDCET) to address the challenges facing the capital city.

The team inaugurated by the Chairman of UCCDA, Rt. Hon. ANIETIE EKA, yesterday, is tasked with enforcing development control in line with the Town Planning Laws and Laws of Akwa Ibom State 2022, as amended.

The enforcement team, according to the agency,  will focus on several key areas, including unapproved filling stations, illegal parks and street trading, cemeteries, telecommunication masts and billboards, client service, and estate development.
