I commend you for sharing your experience and expenses incurred for this project. I also would like to know how many coaches were constructed.

Now, why wouldn't you want to mention the said community? I see nothing wrong in doing so. Everyone knows that development fees are usually demanded almost everywhere, but 200k is rather too high. Please, I want to know what community. I am hoping to acquire plots within Awka, especially around Ebenebe.

Keep rising!

Maximum respect to spyder880, his threads here on property section of Nairaland really gingered me up to go into this fencing project. Am just here to share my experience and to give a breakdown of how I was able to carry out the project so that people out there who have such project will be well informed before starting up.

ANALYSIS OF A FENCING PROJECT CARRIED OUT IN ANAMBRA STATE.
Location of the plot: Awka, Anambra State
Plot Size: 60ft. by 100ft approximately 18m by 30m {The fencing will cover just 3walls as 1 of the walls which I share with a neighboring plot has already been erected so am focusing on the remaining 3. which is 201ft(96ft + 60ft + 45ft) if we exclude the 100ft that has already been covered and the 15ft mapped out for erecting of gate.
Time frame: 2 to 3weeks( 12 days of activities)

LIST OF ALL EXPENSES:
1. Labour =>. #148,000 naira
2. Development fee => #200,000 naira
3. Gate => #170,000 naira
4. 6"inches solid Blocks(#130 * 1500pieces) *though we had abt 500blocks previously in the site, so total should be 2000 blocks or less=> #195,000 naira
5. White sand(2 trips @13,000 each). => #26,000 naira
6. Cement (45 bags @ 1500 each) => #67,500 naira
7. Water (3tanks of 500liters @ 2500 each) => #7,500 naira
8. Transportation and Misc. Expenses => #25,500 naira
9. Gate column construction materials => #49,600 naira

Total Expenditure => #889,100 naira.

I will still give a breakdown of the day to day activities and the different stages of work carried out in the site.

*Note: Development fee is a fee imposed by the community where the site is situated, that before any development is carried out, land owners must pay the annoying sum of 200,000 naira to the community or else they will come around on daily basis to disturb the work which will lead to more expenses and damages... this particular fee delayed the project for 1 whole month as we tried to see if we can negotiate with the community,... all to no avail. They charge the highest development fee in the state. Its so annoying I hope the state government will do something about it... I just don't want to mention the community.. But I don't see why developers should be ripped off for no just course all in the name of development fee/levy. So it might not necessarily be the case in your own area but you just have to make inquiries first before starting the project because those youths are quite destructive when they re not being settled.

Nonsense. The law states that, even with immunity, sitting Presidents, Governors can be investigated, but can't be prosecuted. It's in the same vain that their accounts can be frozen without prosecution.

I have been expecting this counter thread since and thank God it is without bias. Post-UME is fraud personified. How can someone score very high but because of the nonsense they call VC's list, special candidate, state of origin, he/she won't get the admission? The earlier they scrap it, the better for students.

UNN's Post UME is filled with fraud.
