The ARISE Model Health Centre at Nduo Eduo has an accident and emergency unit, a laboratory and an immunisation room. It brings care closer to residents who relied on Immanuel General Hospital Eket. The Model Primary School at Idung Offiong has solar power and staff quarters, and pupils received uniforms, books and shoes. The Compassionate Homes give housing to people in need.
Cash grants of N134,100,000 reached 333 farmers, traders and small business owners. Building the compassionate homes and the chairman's residence gave work to masons, electricians, carpenters and suppliers. The road works are designed to ease movement for farmers, traders and transporters.
