Governor Udom Emmanuel has expressed deep satisfaction with the quality and number of road projects currently being executed by his administration, saying that without huge investments in infrastructure, his industrialization plan can never succeed.

Governor Emmanuel spoke Wednesday when he undertook a tour of several road projects currently being executed by his administration within Uyo metropolis.

Led by the Commissioner for Works, Mr Ephraim Inyangeyen, the Governor said he was impressed that so many roads projects have taken shape within the short period.

At Ewet Housing Estate, the Governor said, “Actually I didn't know that with the money we deployed, even within this estate, we've done in total up to 10 roads within this Ewet Housing Extension alone.”

He also commended the quality of drainage at the area, saying it would forestall the devastating effect of flood water on the new roads in the housing extension.

“We know the devastating impact of those drains and I don't want to go into details but seeing the quality of what they have done there, even the concept on how to take out those outfall drains, I think it's quite impressive.”

Mr Emmanuel said he was happy that Atan Offot area, has also been made accessible to the entire state capital through a new network of roads constructed by his Government for the people.

He said the excitement expressed by the people of the community during his inspection visit, makes him wonder how they would react when he returns to commission the roads in few weeks.
