•••Inaugurates more Classrooms, ICT Centres, Roads, Markets
The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on Saturday intensified his constituency briefing tour across Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District with the inauguration of gargantuan infrastructural projects cutting across education, health, ICT, markets, and road networks.
Our reporters observed that, the second day of the engagement saw the Senate President storming Etim Ekpo, Ika, Ukanafun and Oruk Anam Local Government Areas, where he inaugurated completed projects executed under his constituency intervention.
In Etim Ekpo, the former Akwa Ibom Governor inaugurated a one-storey building comprising 12 classrooms and a fully equipped ICT centre at Ikono Annang Comprehensive Secondary School, Nkwot. The sprawling facility adds to other major interventions in the area, including a new school block at Community Secondary School, Uruk Ata 2; an ICT Centre at Community Secondary School, Ikot Esop; a 500-metre road project at Inyang Ekpo; and an ultra-modern market at Otoro Obong Mboho Annang.
Also delivered in the area are a primary health centre at Ikot Akpa Nkuk, a classroom block at Abat Town, another ICT centre at Ikono Annang Comprehensive School, and a new police station at Utu Etim Ekpo.
Still in the spirit of grassroots impact, the Senate President moved to Ika Local Government Area, where he inaugurated the newly constructed Mkpohoeto Ultra-Modern Market at Ikot Udom. Other interventions in Ika included the construction of an ICT centre at St. Augustine, Urua Inyang, a classroom block in the same school, and a one-kilometre road stretching through Ikot Eseden, Ikot Udom, and Ito communities.
In Ukanafun, Senator Akpabio cut the tape on an ICT centre in Ikot Akpan Afaha. Other projects in the area include a modern market at Urua Ekun, 500-metre roads at Idung Nneke, Anwa Uyo and Urua Obo Okoyo: all part of efforts to open up the rural economy and improve access within communities.
Rounding off the day’s event, the Nation's number 3 citizen was received by cheering crowds in Oruk Anam, where he inaugurated a one-storey, 12-classroom building at the Secondary School, Ikot Afanga. The Local Government Area also benefitted from the construction of an ultramodern market at Urua Anwa, classroom blocks at Southern Annang Comprehensive School, Ikot Okoro, a fully equipped block of classrooms with borehole water at Community Secondary School, Mbiakot, as well as an ICT Centre and transformer installation at Community Secondary School, Ekparakwa.
Many of the constituents who interacted with our reporters said what they witnessed goes beyond the usual constituency projects. For them, it is a clear continuation of Akpabio’s deep-rooted style of grassroots development, a legacy that began during his early years in public office and is now playing out strongly in his current position as Senate President.
They used the occasion to pledge their total support for President Bola Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Governor Umo Eno, assuring that they would deliver 100 percent votes for the trio in the 2027 general elections to enable them sustain their people-centred leadership.
