With barely one week since the flag-off of the commissioning of projects as part of activities marking the 39th anniversary of the State, Governor Umo Eno has so far inaugurated two primary health centres, one model primary school as well as a 6.475km road in Amanyam in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area.
First on the list of commissioning was the primary healthcare, Ikot Uboh in Ikot Abasi Local Government Area on Wednesday, September 2, 2026 while the people of Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area took their turn on Thursday, September 4, when Gov Eno and his team visited the local government to inaugurate the 6.475km roads in Amanyam Community.
Similarly, the joy of the people of Nsit Atai and Abak Local Government Areas knew no bounds when the governor’s team visited the areas on Saturday, September 5 and yesterday Sunday, September 6 for the inauguration of a model primary school and a model primary health centre in the two local government areas respectively.
Today, Monday, September 7, the governor and his team will visit Obot Akara Local Government Area, where another model primary school is billed for inauguration.
Speaking during the inauguration of the 6.475-kilometre Amanyam–Mbiaso road in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area recently, Governor Eno said his administration’s priority was to improve the quality of life of the people rather than engage in unnecessary politicking at the expense of development.
He commended the people of Ikot Ekpene for their unwavering support for his administration, assuring them of more development projects, including the Ikot Ekpene International Market, compassionate homes, primary health centres and additional road projects.
Eno also assured them that unfinished projects inherited from previous administrations would be reviewed and completed for the benefit of the people.
He lauded the chairman of Ikot Ekpene Local Government council, Mr Aniefiok Nkom, for executing people-oriented projects, noting that similar developmental efforts by local government chairmen across the State were encouraging and a credit to local government autonomy.
Giving an overview of the road project, the commissioner for works and fire service, Professor Eno Ibanga, said the 6.475-kilometre single-carriageway road, with an eight-metre width, was constructed with 12.95 kilometres of side drains.and that the road traverses Ifuho, Ibong, Ikot Udoe and Mbiaso communities.
Ibanga described the project as a complete developmental ecosystem that had opened up Amanyam and adjoining communities, adding that the road was diligently supervised to ensure standard, quality and durability.
He thanked the governor for approving the variation in the project cost that facilitated its timely completion.
Chairman of Ikot Ekpene Local Government council, Nkom, commended Governor Eno for his developmental strides in the area, particularly the ongoing international market, hospital project and access roads, including the Amanyam–Mbiaso road so inaugurated.
He, on behalf of the Amanyam and the entire Ikot Ekpene people, declared total support for the governor in the 2027 general elections.
In their separate goodwill messages, the political leader of Ikot Ekpene, Senator Emmanuel Ibok Essien, and the Paramount Ruler of Ikot Ekpene, HRM Okon Udo Ukut, commended Governor Eno for his commitment to the development of the people, recalling that the poor condition of the road had left residents facing hardship for decades, with economic activities in the area severely affected.
They thanked the governor for completing the road and other economically viable projects, saying the developments have restored hope to the people of Ikot Ekpene.
