Most nigerian states(Akwaibom state included)has already banned the use of motorcycle as a means of transport in their capital city,whether for private use or for commercial use.
In uyo the capital city of akwaibom state,tricycle operators(popularly known as keke napep),most of them being former commercial motorcylists have suffered intimidation under the present state government.
For a liecense to operate a tricycle for commercial purposes an individual have to pay the sum of twenty thousand naira and will have to purchase an operational ticket daily which from 1/7/2014 stands at four hundred naira.
Recently there was a directive by the akwaibom state ministry of transport restricting tricycles from reaching the ibom plaza(city centre),All tricycles are expected to disembark its passengers few kilometres away from the ibom plaza(for passengers that are bound for plaza). Before the new directives were made the ministry transport or rather the state government did not even make any prior arrangements for alternative routes for the tricycle operators like rehabilitating the streets that the tricycle operators ought to divert. Most streets roads in uyo are very narrow and yet indiscriminate parking of cars has made the free transit of the tricycles extremely difficult.
Touts are stationed at the various street entrance close to the ibom plaza by the state government,touts to control traffic? Nsentip street is one of the alternative streets for the tricycles,the street like the rest is very narrow and needs urgent rehabilitation. ......................

mr.itoroetti am not even from akwaibom,but i reside here in uyo. So much work for mr.akpabio to do but rather he runs to the media to broadcast the little he has achieved! This is rainy season and when it rains in uyo OMG come see flooding.......from ikot-ekpene rd to abak rd to aka rd! Every part of uyo will be flooded because of the poor drainage system which needs urgent attention. Anyways what am talking about here is the 'strict' and harsh conditions on which tricycle operators are confined to.

Attack, dissect, criticize the message, leave the messenger alone. He has raised valid concerns any good leader should look into. I discussed this before when the ban started newly. There was no point stopping them from reaching plaza until alternate routes have been arranged. The flood is a disaster waiting to happen. I also told Ujoine or whatever his name was then, the drainage should be worked on long before the rains come. Get the inhabitants of the state involved. Uyo is very nauseatingly dirty. You know this, I know it too.

dr_mike_adams: abeg...how affordable is accomodation in uyo?

Quite affordable compared to Rivers State. Very expensive compared to Kwara State.

i want to relocate to uyo or akwa ibom..i need to know about the accomodation fees so as to make a better decision..2 bedroom flats or self con.?

Gboliwe: Quite affordable compared to Rivers State. Very expensive compared to Kwara State.

A decent self -con is between 120- 150k and you will pay for 2years. The landlords always insist so. If you meet one like my landlord, he will increase it to 170k (maybe) and ask you to pay for one year.
There are other cheaper self cons that cost between 60-80k, these ones lack water running within the house and some are far from the main town- Uyo.

2bedroom is N250- 300k
