REP UNYIME IDEM INSPECTS CONSTRUCTION OF IKOT UKPONGEREN BRIDGE AND 1KM ROAD WITH DUAL DRAINAGE

The Member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Rep Unyime Idem has inspected the ongoing construction of Ikot Ukpongeren bridge, 1km Road with dual drainage in Oruk Anam Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

The bridge which links the affected communities with other Local Government Areas in the state was destroyed over 40 years ago during the Nigerian civil war.

The bridge and road, when completed, will enhance the economy of the area through the movement of goods and services within and out of the community, and will connect the people of Oruk Anam Local Government Area and their Mkpat Enin Local Government Area neighbours who, for decades, had difficulties accessing each other after the collapse of the bridge.

The lawmaker, who is the sponsor of the project, appreciated the community for their cooperation with the contractors and promised them more developmental projects when reelected.

He commended the contractors for the speed and standard of work done so far while also reminding them of the April 2023 delivery time frame.
