Akwa Ibom is lucky sha. From a backwater to a very rich state(at least looking at their govt purse). But it still doesn't have the look of a rich state looking at their quality of houses around.

Quality of house depends on individual not government but with good amenities inplace, all that will change sir.

Once you get infrastructures right, investors will come and buy out those neighbourhood and the sellers will take the cash and build better houses for themselves.

The transformation is organic once you get infrastructure right.

I have bought and knocked down a few houses on that axis for a project I have there, so those bungalows will be replaced with high rise building soon.

AsomughaChuks02:


Hope so

Yeah, as am taking now, there are some mental sanitisation ongoing with the soul aim to beautify uyo with modern mega structures.
