For families and communities
The road is meant to give communities in the Nung Ukim and Itak areas a direct route to Uyo, the state capital. When finished, it can make trips for work, school and hospital visits easier.

About the project
The Nung Ukim to Afaha Obio Enwang to Nung Udoe Itak Road is a 12.5-kilometre road. It starts at Nung Ukim in Ikono Local Government Area and runs through Afaha Obio Enwang to Nung Udoe Itak, linking Ikono and Uyo Local Government Areas.
Governor Umo Eno flagged off its construction on 2 July 2025. Work is ongoing.
The road is meant to give Nung Ukim, Afaha Obio Enwang and Itak a better link toward Uyo, the state capital. It should make it easier for people to reach markets, schools, health centres and jobs, and for farmers to move their produce.
Once complete, the road is expected to cut travel time and open up the area for trade. It is one of the rural road projects of the ARISE Agenda.
The road has not yet been commissioned.
