Abia and Akwa Ibom States Partner to Repair Linking Roads
Governors Alex Otti of Abia and Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom have agreed to collaborate on repairing roads that connect the two neighboring states ¹. This partnership aims to improve socioeconomic ties between the states and enhance the accessibility of key roads.
Key Roads to be Repaired:
- Ikot Ekpene-Aba Road: The governors plan to expedite federal government intervention on this critical road.
- Ini-Arochukwu Road: Defective portions of this road will be remedied to ensure smooth passage.
The partnership was announced during Governor Otti’s condolence visit to Governor Eno, following the passing of Akwa Ibom’s First Lady, Patience Eno. Governor Eno expressed gratitude for the support and assured his commitment to working with Abia State to improve road infrastructure [1).
This development is expected to boost economic activities and facilitate travel between the two states. With Aba being a significant regional commercial center, the improved road connectivity will benefit citizens from both states.
