The well-attended event hosted by the Member representing Uyo State Constituency, Hon. Anietie Eka, afforded the people to celebrate and commend the Governor particularly for the construction of the Anua-Mbak-Ishiet Road in Etoi Clan and other projects in Uyo LGA.
Speaking at the event, Hon. Anietie Eka lauded the State Chief Executive for placing premium on the welfare of his constituents through the construction of the Anua-Mbak-Ishiet Road which he said has eased the sufferings of residents, commuters and traders.

We are celebrating the Governor because for the first time since creation, we've had a tarred road that cuts across Mbak, Mbak Ikot Ebo, Mbak Ikot Abasi, Mbak Akpan Ekpenyong and the rest of them. For so many years, we agitated for the construction of the road but when Governor Udom Emmanuel came, he saw the need to construct the road. May God bless Governor Udom Emmanuel", he said.

The people of Etoi have always been known to be very proactive people when it comes to politics. The people you have seen here are steadfast PDP people. We will deliver. We will stand by you", he added.
