You see Akwa Ibom State doing state-of-the-art infrastructural projects without tolling motorists.

But whenever Lagos does the same, you see tollgates everywhere. Meanwhile, Lagos State is by far richer than Akwa Ibom State.

The day Nigerians will eschew stupidity and start asking for accountability, then we start building a working society.

you are so right

Harrykn:
Nonsense! The road no complete shit, all these propaganda shit hmmm

idiot did anybody told you in the write up say the road is complete . Next time read with carefully before you misyarn

GeorgeNorah:
the two added lanes by each shoulder wey dem don break people houses and shops finish
Since when e come turn 10 lane or abi OP dey ment?

my guy you don’t understand road lane definition you no want ask questions..
The road from oron to airport is an 8lanes while the one cutting across oron road to nwaniba is a 10 lanes road .

In details :
you don't calculate the lanes of a road by the median, rather you calculate the lanes of a road by the size of the width.

This road is an ten lanes road, certainly not four.

I’m a details: it’s 10lane actually becos the btw the massive divider you have 3lane on each flanks making it 6 while the other 2service lanes have 2 lanes each making it 4 .. so total of 10lanes .. meanwhile the one leading to the airport is 8 lanes ..

maxzzo1:
Good one but how cars are in Uyo?

2 cars since we are senseless to build for the future

hardbody:
Kip inua mfo.

that guy tire me oo. He no understand how road lanes are counted , his confidently embarrassing himself.. he things roads dividers or margins makes a lane..

Weldon rich man..

Even Nigeria is broke


God bless southsouth and southwest

Amen oo

Kudos to Akwa Ibom present and past governors , they kept on putting on infrastructure that will aid the growth of the state in the nearest future.

well said bro

Dingdongbells:
Akwa Ibom Isongho. O.O.
Akwa Ibom Dakkada !!!.
I greet all Akwa Ibomites in the house from the Land of Promise. We are lovers of peace not vawulence, not indabosky. We're not fighters nor liquid metals. We love peace and are very hospitable. Marry from Akwa Ibom and know peace.

well said

OhBritannia:
I am not from akwa ibom but i tell you that akwa ibom is the most beautiful state in NIGERIA and fastest developing state.
if 50% of the companies In Lagos or Abuja are in akwa ibom. the state will be competing with world class State by now.
what the city needs now is more investment and companies, more foreign investments.
and they are one of the nicest people in NIGERIA.

Deltans and people from akwa ibom are very nice people.
people from other States should emulate them when it comes to kindness and lack of tribalism.

you’ve said it all

allen113:
Never in the history of the state did anything close to that happen because such jobs were reserved for construction giants like Julius Berger, RCC, MCC, etc.

The reason is because indigenous construction firms most times disappoint. Common Street they will give to them to construct they will build rubbish and in less than one year the roads will go bad

You are right .. Hensek seems to be different

nawa4naija:
What I see here is just 4 lane

Which one is 8 lane and 10 lane again.

you don't calculate the lanes of a road by the median, rather you calculate the lanes of a road by the size of the width.

This road is an ten lanes road, certainly not four.

I’m a details: it’s 10lane actually becos the btw the massive divider you have 3lane on each flanks making it 6 while the other 2service lanes have 2 lanes each making it 4 .. so total of 10lanes .. meanwhile the one leading to the airport is 8 lanes ..

Frame 1 is the 10lanes road leading to 5star hotel while frame 2 is the 8 lanes leading to the airport ok

Benesis:
Rada na nonsense and indisime
Talk, Answer eeytin i type.

NA AKPABIO BUILD THE ROAD HIM ONE ADD LANES ON, OR NOT.

answer, how many lanes, i dey use dat road every two two days for 12years now incase you no know.
No turn tool for politician hand.
Na akpabio build Airport and road to am,udom jus dey add lanes on them, and guy, how that road take be 10lanes, una dey lie wothout conscience aswear
No allow make pol

shut up na attah build that road to the NNPC big junction then build a community one lane to airport which also have a spurs to Okobo LGA and Uruan inner village while Akpabio built from the NNPC fueling station close to the big junction to the airport terminal . Who sabi Akpabio for oron road . Did Akpabio build the 10 lane or not ? How will Akpabio build oron road when no be him start shelter and the airport project

macaranta:
You were not informed? AKs has one of the best rural to city road networks in Nigeria. From every corner to Uyo, the city capital is always not more than an hour.

that ido.t you are quoting has not been to AKS before ..

phransix2:
But the people are still in abject poverty, it's high time they make all these translate to better lives of it's citizens.

one wonder if you and your family is not subjected to poverty has we speak .. idio.t in nine colors

Benesis:
Ohh dahhhh, Ohh Dahhh,
Udom with Propaganda, mbok where e dey, na dat same Ibiaku road wey i drive come Oron so dem dey call 8 lane?

Akpabio did and expansive, word standard road, Udom came and added 2 other 2 lanes by each Shoulder, and now, will claim building an 8 lane road..

Omohh, if you no sabi propaganda and packaging, no near politics o

no you for cocoma say na akpbio build the 10lanes to nwaniba join or na Akpabio get Ibomair .. nonsense and ingredients!

Ekpekus:
The durability of the job done by the local contractor will either give credence to the hype or wash it down...

Durability is one thing that is parallel with our construction.

Meanwhile... kudos Akwa IbomState for always making progress in infrastructure development. I hope human capital is also been developed.

Oga no be robot the build that road na human oo..
I hope you even understand the human capital development you are preaching sef

EnergyEnergy:
Akwa Ibom is doing very well, kudos and more great works ahead

amen oo

GardenOfGod:
Meanwhile, the road is just 4 lanes not 8 nor 10 please.

you don’t understand what make a round 10lanes you no ask questions.hmmm.
See , you don't calculate the lanes of a road by the median, rather you calculate the lanes of a road by the size of the width.

This road is an ten lanes road, certainly not four.

I’m a details: it’s 10lane actually becos the btw the massive divider you have 3lane on each flanks making it 6 while the other 2service lanes have 2 lanes each making it 4 .. so total of 10lanes .. meanwhile the one leading to the airport is 8 lanes ..

kingsways:
I love Akwa Ibom

we love you too

MadamVanessa:



Udom really tried for this state. The only fuckup of Udom Emmanuel is trying to imposed the clueless Umoh Eno on the good people of my state.

And for a man that tried to refer someone else I think is continuity the man is looking at , which is ok by his standard

IDONGESIT NKANGA AVENUE (3RD RING ROAD) A WORLD-CLASS MASTERPIECE BY HENZEK ENGINEERING

By Emmanuel Nicholas

Indigenous construction firms were never trusted with the construction of a massive superhighway with 12 lanes, such as the Third Ring Road in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.

Never in the history of the state did anything close to that happen because such jobs were reserved for construction giants like Julius Berger, RCC, MCC, etc.

Many indigenous construction firms that bid for such projects did so solely to raise their profiles.
Without a doubt, Governor Udom Emmanuel is a leader who believes in cultivating and developing the Akwa Ibom brand as part of his Dakkada Philosophy.

Besides, the Dakkada Philosophy invites all Akwa Ibom people to conquer their fears, break down the barriers to their success and rise to the faith of their greatness.

That is why the governor’s decision to allow an indigenous firm, Henzek Engineering, to compete with multinational construction companies should be commended.

While the company has shown itself as a rising star, it has also demonstrated its ability to compete on an equal footing with multinational construction corporations.

The high-quality delivery of the Third Ring Road, which is nearing completion, is a strong statement that if given the opportunity, an Akwa Ibom person can excel in any profession.

The quality of the work is evident to all, but more importantly, the meticulous finishing of the road has dissuaded critics who had argued that awarding such a large contract to an indigenous company would be a waste of public funds and result in subpar service.

One of the problems of road construction in Nigeria over the years has been durability rather than inflated costs, and Engr Uwem Okoko, Managing Director of Henzek Engineering, deserves all praise for meeting the contract's obligations.

The Third Ring Road was built in accordance with the required engineering methods, according to those who are familiar with the project.

Every step of construction was handled with strict engineering precision - the demolition and removal of unsuitable soil, grading and sloping, preparation of the subbase, installation of the binder and surface course, asphalt surfacing as well as installation of butt joints and transitions.

A thorough final roll will complete the project and deliver a five-star superhighway to the state.

But let’s get back to the basics. Earthwork is one of the major phases in road construction and involves the removal of topsoil, along with any vegetation before scraping and grading the road area into a finished “formation level.”

This is usually done using a tractor shovel, grader, or bulldozer. Below the formation level, it is important that the strength of the soil, also known as the “subgrade,” is tested prior to the beginning of earthwork.

That was what informed the decision of Henzek Engineering to remove over six feet of unsuitable soil, refilled the road with pure red earth and compact it in three stages during the earthworks.

A high-quality precast drainage system was developed before the earth was refilled, just like other multinational construction companies do.

Where necessary, underground drains were constructed to adequately evacuate and discharge flood water to their terminal points.

Following the completion of the earthwork, the company built three levels of subgrades, each of which was around 50 meters in thickness .

Before the binder course was rolled, the stone-base concrete was laid out to the desired subgrade thickness, which was about 100mm.

The company's approach to asphalting has also left many pondering why such a large quantity of bitumen was poured on a single road.

This is because after the binder course was completed, three levels of asphalt were laid with the stage measuring 50 meters of rough surface bitumen, second stage also measured 50 meters (and contained small stones mixture) and while the finishing was done with pure nylon asphalt which gave the road its smooth and glassy spectacle.

Idongesit Nkanga Avenue is 9.5 kilometers long and has 12 lanes; two middle-road drains, two side drains, six concrete road dividers, and three roundabouts with water fountains at the Oron, Nwaniba, and Aka Road connections.
The last two lanes of the lovely road are illuminated by solar-powered floor lights and double middle floor lights.
Another appurtenance of the road is the provision of a concrete floor on the median with a narrow earth path for planting trees and flowers.

As part of safety measures, the company has not only installed iron barricades along the entire length of the road to prevent users from indiscriminate crossing but has also created crossing points at every 100 or 200 meters.

The two last lanes of the superhighway are provided with concrete-top walk paths and holes for planting of trees to beautify the road.

The high quality, the sheer magnificence, and the sense of durability of the Third Ring Road have made many wonder whether it was constructed by a local company. And the answer is a resounding “YES.”

When it comes to the construction industry, Henzek Engineering has proven the pundits wrong by making a bold statement with Idongesit Nkanga Avenue finishing .

The company today employs more than 5,000 workers, including both skilled and unskilled labour, and has more than 300 pieces of machinery in its yard.

That is why we can confidently assert that Henzek Engineering has what it takes to carry out any type of construction job on any given day, at any given time.

Engr Uwem Okoko has positioned the company to operate locally, nationally continental , and at the international level, thanks to Governor Emmanuel who understands that building indigenous economy provides opportunity to grow more enterprises with the concomitant rewards in job creation and poverty alleviation.
