Aduma-Mkpani-Ugep Road Will Boost Agricultural Activities in C'River, Says Sen Eteng

‎Senator Eteng Williams, representing Cross River Central in the National Assembly, has said that the 8-km Aduma-Mkpani-Ugep constituency road will boost agriculture.

‎

‎Mr Williams made the statement on Sunday in Yakurr during an inspection tour of constituency projects facilitated by his office.

‎He said that the road would boost agriculture because it would facilitate the transportation of farm produce to markets in other parts of the state.

‎

‎The senator said that the road would also improve connectivity among farming communities and link them to major roads.

‎

‎“All the food in this local government come from this axis, so with this road, transportation will be easier,” he said.

‎

‎Mr Williams further said that about two kilometres of the road had already been asphalted, while about six kilometres had reached an advanced level of completion.

‎

‎He said that the remaining sections would be constructed in phases, depending on the availability of funds.

‎

‎Mr Williams said that the road would significantly reduce travel time for residents and improve access to neighbouring communities.

‎

‎He said that the project was part of his efforts to stimulate economic activities and improve the livelihoods of people in rural communities.

‎

‎“This is one of our projects, and we are now moving to other sites. We are working on the road because it links the major roads,” he said.

‎

‎Some residents of the area commended the senator for facilitating the road project and said that it would address transportation difficulties and improve economic activities.
