Former President Olusegun Obasanjo will on Tuesday inaugurate a 23.4km Eket-Etinan dual carriage road constructed by Akwa Ibom Governor Udom Emmanuel.
The road traverses four local governments, including Etinan, Nsit Ibom, Nsit Ubium, and Eket.
Special Assistant to the Governor on Research and Documentation, Mr. Essien Ndueso, announced this when he led journalists on an inspection tour preparatory to the commissioning by Obasanjo.
Ndueso said everything was in place for the commissioning of the Eket – Etinan dual carriageway handled by Chinese firm, CCECC.
He said the new road is the fulfillment of Governor Emmanuel’s promise to ensure a dual carriageway from the state capital to the Atlantic Ocean, adding that the new road is a continuation of the 20km Uyo- Etinan Road that is almost ready for inauguration.
On his part, the construction project manager Engr Samuel Ukata said the road was executed to specifications to stand the test of time.
