IT was celebration galore on Saturday as Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State inaugurated the 16km Awa Iman - Ikot Edim - Ikot Emem - Ukam - Ikot Ebiere Road with 3 number spurs and 2 Bridges.

The road cuts across ONNA and Mkpat Enin Local Government Areas.

However, the venue for the inauguration in Ukam, Mkpat Enin LGA, was almost turned to campaign ground as indigenes in their large numbers came out to appreciate the governor for delivering on his electoral promises.

Governor Emmanuel who arrived the venue alongside his deputy, Mr Moses Ekpo, Secretary to the State Government, Dr Emmanuel Ekuwem and other senior citizens stated that the inauguration ceremony was another success story of his superior performance.

He noted that the project was aimed at improving the living standards of the people at the grassroots and providing access roads for them to convey their farm produce to the city.

The State Chief Executive advised the people in the area to use the opportunity of easy access provided by the new road to improve trade and commerce for economic prosperity.


Earlier, the State Commissioner for Works, Mr Ephraim Inyang-Eyen, had explained that the project was initially 12.74km but had to be broaden to benefit other communities in the area.

According to the Works boss, "this is one of the best network of roads for the people". He promised that his ministry will do the needful to maintain the road.

Indigenes of the area who spoke at the event, including the Paramount Ruler, Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, HRM Edidem (Elder) Akpan Akpan Ekpene, Chairman, Mkpat Enin Local Government Council, Hon Ekanem Brown, former Transition Chairman, Hon Ubong Ekefre, described the project as a good omen that would increase agricultural productivity in the area.

The people specifically eulogized Mr Emmanuel for his administration’s commitment to the spreading of democratic dividends to the nooks and crannies of the State.

Meanwhile, the Governor and his entourage later moved to Eket Local Government Area where he inaugurated Lucy Bassey Street, Frank Archibong Street and six other roads in the area.

Abia state never see any.

Abia State is in a very sorry state the last time I visited there, and Owerri is like a dump site too. I do not want to see the Akwa Ibomites worshiping their Governors. They are stubborn people and should continue to be stubborn and demand performance from all their Governors.

The Governors already know that if they fail their people, they will not be able to visit their villages again.

The roads in Akwa Ibom are good, but not the best in Nigeria. You need to travel more.
