Land Issues:

Land acquisition procedures in the Municipality are plagued with problems of irregularities in the land market, unclear land boundaries and the absence of well-institutionalized estate agencies. This makes it difficult for a prospective grantee to know where to start from and who to deal with in respect of the grant of lands. It is further saddled with bureaucracy thereby making the acquisition procedure slow and irksome.

 It is more pronounced with the grant of state lands. Land litigation is another issue confronting land acquisition in the Municipality. This phenomenon has contributed to the slow process for the granting of stool land. This has been partly attributed to inadequate data on land boundaries between stools.

Incidence of Crime:

Four (4) highly committed crimes in the Municipality are robbery, fraud, domestic violence and assault. This makes living in the Municipality unsafe as people get injured and abused.

Fire Outbreak

Fire outbreaks in the Municipality mainly occur at the markets and workshops. Among the factors that have contributed to this phenomenon are weak and naked electrical wires, unswitched off electrical gadgets whilst out of home and overloaded meters.
