The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah on Friday commissioned what he called Gully Erosion and Flood Control Project in Akpene Eket, Akwa Ibom.


The minister who was representing President Buhari at the commissioning said the project was necessitated by erosions and flooding in the area and its environs.

"The project is one of 26 Aso Rock's ecological intervention projects awarded last year and executed through the Ecological Fund Office (EFO) in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF). President Buhari's administration promised and is committed to ensure that no part of the country suffers neglect, irrespective of geographical location or political considerations. The intervention will curtail the danger to lives and properties posed by flooding and erosion" he tweeted.

Enelamah, following public backlash, sought to clarify that the project was more than just a gutter and culvert.
"Three different sites were reclaimed and filled. Whole streets like the one we walked on during the commissioning were reclaimed & tarred. Drainage rechannelled to prevent flooding. The gutter is only an outlet" he tweeted.

hahahahahah... Imagine dis is one of d 26 Aso Rock ecological projects.. Like for real?

Ecological intervention projects straight from Aso Rock... Even d President was ashamed to come and commission his gutter lol

there was a time regional government made mad money through Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment,. they simply give cash crop farmers seeds and fertilizers. and they buy agricultural produce from farmers at fixed prices, only to sell at much higher prices to foreigners making huge forex. since the Jegudujera British trained military Generals came over, they started the government "have no business doing business slogan". sadly the ministry that could feed other ministry are now beggars and handicapped to NNPC, FIRS, and Ministry of finance.

Na mediocrity go kill us in Africa sha!

Akpabio come and see the dividend of democracy that your evil party conceived, executed and commissioned in Akwa Ibom state for Akwa Ibom people
