Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC has promised to complete a 22-year old abandoned road project linking Akwa Ibom and Abia State.
The Managing Director/CEO of NDDC, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, in company with the Executive Director Projects, NDDC, Sir Victor Antai, and other Commission Directors, promised this while inspecting the 30km Nsasak junction—Akon road that links Akwa Ibom and Abia State.
Ogbuku highlighted the significance of this project, stating that it will serve as an alternative route for commuters and reduce the cost of transportation. He expressed readiness to review the project’s scope and mobilise contractors to resume work as soon as possible.
He said, “This is a vital project that links Akwa Ibom State and Abia State. Though awarded in 2012, about 15km of this project is done, and we are already conversing with the contractor about when they will return to the site. We are committed to reviewing the scope of the road and completing it in no distance time.”
