About the project
The Ikot Anyan Ediene to Urua Naira (Nnung Ukim) Road is a 21.5-kilometre rural road in Ikono Local Government Area. It runs from Ikot Anyan Ediene through Ikot Ntia, Urua Naira, Ikot Nseyen and Nkwot to Nung Ukim, and it includes a bridge.
The Akwa Ibom State Government approved and awarded the road in 2022, under former Governor Udom Emmanuel. ZEE Construction Company got the contract, which had a two-year completion period and a cost of about N6 billion. The communities along the route had waited about 50 years for a proper road. The project continues under Governor Umo Eno, and work is ongoing.
The road is aimed at local transport and at agribusiness. Ikono produces a lot of food, and the road is meant to help farmers move produce from their farms to markets in Ikono and beyond.
Once complete, the road is expected to cut travel time between these communities, open up farmland and support trade. It fits the rural roads and agriculture goals of the ARISE Agenda.
The road has not yet been commissioned.
