…mourns deceased seaport technical committee member


Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, has assured that all ongoing road construction projects in Oruk Anam Local Government Area will be completed before the end of 2022.

The governor gave the assurance at the funeral service of a deceased member of the state’s Technical Committee on Implementation of the Ibom Deep Seaport, Late Architect Idongesit Udoffa, at QIC Central Primary School, Ibesit Anwa Udo in Oruk Anam LGA.




Governor Emmanuel said the ongoing Ikot Ekaide – Ikot Okoro-Ikot Ibritam and other road projects in Oruk Anam, were among the longest road projects being executed by the state government.

This, he explained, was why four major road contractors have been engaged to get the job done, and gave assurance that all works on the road will be completed before the end of 2022.

“I want to reassure Oruk Anam people that we have four major contractors working here and before the end of next year, we’ll complete all the roads. Let us just pray for good weather and we’ll get that done”.


“This year records the highest rainfall we’ve had in the past six years and if you want to do a good job, you can’t do earthworks on a road when it is raining. You must allow the rains to subside”, he explained.




He cautioned against unverified and misinforming utterances on the current state of the roads under construction, as he sued for discretion among religious leaders in matters of governance.

“If you want to eat an omelette, you must break an egg. If you want the road to be fixed you must be prepared have the road spoiled at the initial earthworks when laterite is poured.

“So let’s face fact and let’s do what we’re supposed to do. Let people handling church leave governance for people in government.

“The public should be told the truth. We must put it straight, that the pulpit should not be used as a platform to mislead people with unverified information.”
