Major Road In Akwa Ibom Finally Collapses. by RexioKlasik(m): 8:23pm On Sep 06, 2016 |
The trunk road linking four-two junction(Ibekwe)and Ikot Akpaden
(all in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area) has effectively
collapsed. This may not be unconnected with the fact that
the link road that vehicles coming into Akwa Ibom state (Ikot
Abasi LGA) via Port Harcourt, was impassable for some
weeks and consequently, those vehicles (mainly heavy duty),
that would have naturally come-in from Port Harcourt via Ikot
Abasi to Ekparakwa, etc had to now navigate from Ikot Abasi
to Ikot Akpaden, connect four-two junction via Ikot Akpaden
and head on to various destinations like Uyo, Calabar, etc.
The scenario above occurred for only three (3) days, before
the Ikot Akpaden/four-two road started showing signs of
imminent collapse. The pictures below show the state of the
road as of Tuesday 06/09/2016.
The collapsed portions are located between Mkpat Enin LGA
Headquarters and Ikot Akpaden. A visit by reporters showed
the road in conditions which was impassable to cars and
heavy duty vehicles. Vehicles that were left stranded as at
the time of the visit included those belonging to Coca-Cola,
Dangote cement, Petrol tankers, Julius Berger and several
others conveying Fulani goats, among others.
The residents of the area are calling on the relevant
government agency to immediately come to their rescue by
commencing emergency repair of the said road. Prominent
institutions located in the vicinity of the collapsed road
include: Community Secondary Commercial school - Esa
Ekpo, Canaan Polytechnic - Ikot Obio Akai, Secondary
School – Ukam, Federal Government Girls College - Ikot
Obio Itong, Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden, among
others.
With the present state of the road, travellers coming from
Ikot Ekpene to Ikot Akpaden, now have to get to Uyo or Ikot Oku
Ikono and locate Etinan via Onna before making any head-
way. The immediate implication is an additional loss of one
(1) extra man hour on the road – time that would have
been better spent productively at work, etc.
Meanwhile travellers and the general motoring public are
hereby urged to make use of alternative routes to make it to
their destination. Source. aksu360.. com
