Uyo v

nwabobo:
This thread is addressing Uyo and the poverty level there shouldn't be, considering the resources coming from there.

Akwa ibom is where Nigeria derives majority of its oil riches, If states were allowed to control resources in its terrain Akwa ibom will have no issue whatsoever with poverty,
God has blessed us, but Man and Federal mago mago is robbing us of our Gods given blessings. there will be joy in the morning some day!

nwabobo:
Serene but poverty is still rife in that state. Nothing happening in the economy.

Every rich person in know there is either a politician orc working in the oil company.

Isnt poverty a National problem/issue? why single out uyo?

Eket Akwa Ibom Under Construction

Eket Akwa Ibom State Metropolitan Renewal Project Updates

japhet1902:
Good move but he should spread across all the local government

All the local government in Akwa Ibom are currently enjoying well spread projects despite lack of funds.
may 23 will see the completion of over 40 major roads in the state , according to the state govt.

This govt unlike the previous one is not advertizing all its projects.
do you know that this govt has connected Akwa ibom state to two different towns in Abia state?
Ekewre Azu and Arochukuw in Abia State has been linked to two different LGA in Akwa Ibom by road for the first time in history. project 90% expected to open may 2018. but citizens have already started using the roads. The Traditional ruler of Arochukwu, Abia State Gave Gov. Udom a chieftaincy title to celebrate and appreciate him for the road Dec 2017.

Is the current stadium currently being optimized? How many sporting events outside of football do they have. I don't see track and field. Your right about this not being matter of opinion. The insults is fair comment. If you want to change name at least get money for it. An easy example are the baseball arenas in US like American airlines arena in Dallas and Miami. American airlines pays to have its name there and to advertise.

there is more to the urban renewal ongoing in Eket than the stadium. ie

The renewal projects include :
1.Widening and dualization of major road arteries within the city metropolis.
2. Building of major flood/ storm drainage systems and underground sewage channelization.
3. Building of a major leisure park at the city center like the ibom plaza in uyo and raffia city park at ikot ekpene.
4. Construction of a new 10,000 all seater + covered Stadium At the site of the present Eket Sports Stadium.
5. construction of a Modern Market.
6.Internal roads/ streets construction.

care to comment on other projects?

Blue3k:
The stadium already unneccessay in my opinion. It's just long string of unneccessay projects like church and Lagos logde. It's pure vanity to act in that manner. Nobody wanted him to change name of stadium in uyo but the fat lipped stooge did it while the crowd watched him in silence.

whats necessary and whats not is a matter of opinion.Go ask the youths of the city where the stadium is being built i know the will have a different opinion.
You dont need to be insulting the governor, you can disagree with his drive without being disagreeable.

Blue3k:
Who else thinks Governor will name Eket stadium after himself or ask his successor to.

So what will be wrong about that? will that take away from the practicability of the facility? whats your point?

Eket - Ibeno dual carriage way. Linking Eket to the Atlantic coastal area of Ibeno all in Akwa Ibom State.
