Dualization of Ikot Imo - Ikot Ekpene Udo - Okon Eket Road

About the project

This project is the dualization of the 11.617-kilometre road from Ikot Imo through Ikot Ekpene Udo to Okon Eket. It serves Nsit Ubium Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State and also covers parts of Nsit Ibom and Eket.

The road is a project of the Akwa Ibom State Government under Governor Pastor Umo Eno. It is a paved dual carriageway with a median barrier and street lights.

The road links communities in Nsit Ubium, including Ikot Ekpene Udo, with Eket. Ikot Ekpene Udo is also the site of a new general hospital and a model primary school being built by the state.

A wider, lit road is expected to make travel safer, ease traffic and support trade between Nsit Ubium, Nsit Ibom and Eket. It fits the ARISE Agenda aim of opening up rural areas and linking them to major towns.
