Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, announced, he commissioned the 14.28km Ikot Ubo–Odot Road and a model Primary Health Centre in Nsit Ubium on Wednesday 28 May, 2025.
The Governor said, the road “connects Nsit Ubium, Nsit Atai, Eket, Onna, Ikot Abasi, and others more easily to Uyo and the Airport.”
Umo said, he was moved to rebuild the road “to the highest standard” due to the struggles people go through to catch a flight as a result of “terrible roads”.
On the “world-class” Primary Health Centre at Ikot Ekwere he also opened, the Governor said, it is “part of our commitment to accessible healthcare for every Akwa Ibomite” as he expressed his deep gratitude to the communities and leaders for their “love and support”.
Governor Eno said: “I commissioned the 14.28km Ikot Ubo–Odot Road and a model Primary Health Centre in Nsit Ubium yesterday. This isn’t just a road; it’s a lifeline that connects Nsit Ubium, Nsit Atai, Eket, Onna, Ikot Abasi, and others more easily to Uyo and the Airport.
“I remember the days of struggling through terrible roads to catch a flight. So I insisted this road be rebuilt to the highest standard, and I’m proud we’ve delivered.
“We also opened a world-class Primary Health Centre at Ikot Ekwere as part of our commitment to accessible healthcare for every Akwa Ibomite. And yes, we’re hiring 1,000 new health workers! Applications are open now through our official portal (not through any ‘connections’).
“I’m deeply grateful for the love and support from our communities and leaders. We are building real progress, not politics. And we are just getting started. God bless Akwa Ibom State.”
