OBASANJO ARRIVES AKWA IBOM TUESDAY, INAUGURATES 23.4km DUAL ROAD

All is finally set for the Commissioning of the 23.4km Eket Etinan Road, which was constructed by Governor Udom Emmanuel.

The inauguration of the road is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 2nd May 2023, and will be graced by the former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, as the special guest of honor.

A trip to the Eket Etinan dual carriageway shows that preparation for the commissioning of the road is in top gear as things are already in place to ensure a successful inauguration ceremony on Tuesday 2 May.

The special assistant to the Governor on research and documentation Mr Essien Ndueso who led a team of journalists on a visit to the new road, said everything is in place for the commissioning of the Eket - Etinan dual carriageway constructed by Governor Udom Emmanuel’s administration and handled by Chinese firm, CCECC.

He said the new road is the fulfillment of Governor Emmanuel’s promise to ensure a dual carriageway from the state capital to the Atlantic Ocean, adding that the new road is a continuation of the 20km Uyo- Etinan Road that is almost ready for inauguration.

Mr Ndueso said before the construction of the Eket - Etinan Road motorists were previously compelled to pass through a long and arduous route before reaching Uyo. Many had to go through Ikot Ubo in Nsit Ubium, down to Ibesikpo Asutan LGA, or even pass through interior villages in Nsit Ubium and Nsit Ibom before reaching their destination.

On his part the construction project manager Engr Samuel Ukata said the road was executed to specifications to stand a test of time.

The Eket - Etinan Highway traversing Eket, Nsit Ubium, Nsit Ibom, and Etinan, which will be commissioned tomorrow by Former Nigerian president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is designed with road furniture like side drainage, pedestrian walkway, traffic markings with pavement and center lines as well as concrete stones walls for enhance movements.

Meanwhile Commuters plying the Eket/Etinan dual carriageway are filled with joy seeing the state government complete the road in preparation for commissioning, Tuesday 2nd May.

Some of them expressed delight on the new road , saying it will enhance their movement , describing it as smoth and sweet to drive on.

A driver, Mr Bassey Ime said before the construction of the dual carriageway, movement from Eket to Uyo used to be difficult as they take pains to navigate village roads in Nsit Ubium and such trip last for an hour but with the newly constructed road now their trip to Uyo from Eket has shortened to just 30mins.

Former President Obasanjo had earlier commissioned the longest flyover bridge in the South South, a one kilometer flyover bridge in Uyo and also inaugurated the longest stretch of dual carriage way executed by any administration in the State, the 29km Etinan - Ndon Eyo road.

“I don’t why Governor Udom Emmanuel loves me so much that he always invites me to inaugurate his best projects. I recall that I was here to inaugurate the longest flyover in the south south and now I am inaugurating the longest dual carriage road with two cable bridges”, said Obasanjo while commissioning of the Etinan - Ndon Eyo Road last year.

Congratulations to the people of the state. The governor has done well....

Fascinating. Southern States are beating their piece silently

God bless Nigeria!.

In terms of infrastructure, the best governors in Nigeria are (in no particular order):

Udom Emmanuel
Dave Umahi
Babajide Sanwo-Olu
Prof Babagana Zulum
Nyesom Wike

Others need to take classes on infrastructure from those five.

Worthy mention: Nasir El-Rufai but didn't make my list because he cannot compete with the 5.

Where is Kano state governor?

There's nothing Ganduje did that those who made the list (especially those have competed their two tenures) didn't do in multiple folds.

I'm a Yoruba guy and stop this stup*d hatred cos Sanwo Olu didn't perform anything.

Nah the Uyo under pass I am looking forward to

The pictures are not showing that beautiful bridge on that Etinan Road. Soon people will see the beauty while watching Nigerian movies. Dakkada to the world✌

RuddyFusion:


Where is Kano state governor?

Let him be playing..

Remove Sanwo Olu, Wike, no other Governor comes close to Ganduje..

Dude really tried! If not for that dollar video saga!

Some Nigerian politician have woken up since Jonathan was kicked out but this stupid APC

Printerscanner:


If only you stay in your cursed state, then you won't worry about Lagos. Let Yoruba worry about Yoruba land.

For once, write intelligently and argue constructively.

We are no longer in the dark ages

Omo, no be road we go chop. We need work in Akwa Ibom.
Nsuto mkpo?

Beautiful roads. But I want to ask ehh. Is it compulsory to be doing all these funfairs after construction?

Spectacular view.
Still in this month, the governor will commission Airport MRO and terminal.
The worship centre also. With that, Udom will sign out so we can have breath of fresh air in Akwa Ibom state.

I pray Umoh Eno outperforms him

Poor you
Save ur breath cos this road is completed from point 001 at Etinan roundabout to the end in Eket roundabout.

This ring road 2 was also commissioned about two weeks ago by this performing Governor.
