About the project

This is the official residence being built for the Executive Chairman of Okobo Local Government Council. It is part of a programme announced by Governor Umo Eno to build a residence for the council chairman in each of the 31 local government areas of Akwa Ibom State. The first of these residences was at Eket.

Work is ongoing. The building is a storey structure in blockwork, with the roof frame in place and a perimeter wall around the compound.

Governor Eno has said council chairmen should live among the people they serve. The quarters are meant to keep the chairman resident in Okobo and closer to the communities, so the council can respond faster to local needs.

For families and communities

When finished, the quarters are meant to let the council chairman live within the LGA. That can keep local leaders closer to the people they serve.

For work and income

The building work can give jobs to local builders and trade to suppliers of blocks, sand and timber while it is going on.
