The campaign director for Governor Umo Eno's re-election bid has raised alarm over the deteriorating state of roads in Eket urban, describing the situation as critically neglected. During a recent visit from media practitioners in Eket Federal Constituency, he expressed concern that the lack of proper road infrastructure is severely hampering the community's development and accessibility.

In his remarks, he indicated that the absence of functional roads has not only affected transportation but has also stifled economic activities within the region. 'There’s no road at all in Eket urban,' he stated, highlighting the urgent need for government intervention to restore and enhance the area's infrastructure.

This revelation comes at a time when the government is being called upon to prioritize infrastructure development as a key part of its governance strategy. The campaign director's comments resonate with the frustrations of residents who have long awaited improvements in their living conditions and economic opportunities.

"Infrastructure is the backbone of any thriving community. Without proper roads, we cannot expect progress," he remarked, urging for a concerted effort from both the state and federal governments to address the challenges faced by Eket urban.

As the campaign for the upcoming elections intensifies, the focus on infrastructure could play a pivotal role in shaping voter sentiment in Akwa Ibom State. Stakeholders are now looking for actionable plans that will not only address current issues but also lay the groundwork for future development.
