The governor gave the assurance on Tuesday when he received a delegation of the NDPHC, led by its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Jennifer Adighije, at the Government House in Uyo.

He noted that completing the transmission project would significantly boost power supply in the state and contribute to the development of the nation’s power sector.

He said, “The completion of this project is critical to our industrialization drive and to providing stable power for our people. Government will intervene to ensure outstanding issues are resolved.”

Governor Eno said the state’s intervention was aimed at facilitating the completion of the 330kV transmission line and improving electricity supply across Akwa Ibom.

In her remarks, NDPHC Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer commended Eno for his willingness to intervene, describing the gesture as a significant complement to the development efforts of the administration.

“I sincerely commend the governor for the willingness to intervene. This kind gesture will significantly complement the development efforts of your administration. We are ready to collaborate with the state,” Adighije said.

“This project which commenced about 20 years ago has faced several challenges, particularly those relating to compensation with host community,” Adighije said.

She explained that the delegation’s visit was primarily to brief the governor on the challenges confronting the project and to seek the state government’s intervention to facilitate its completion.

The NDPHC boss also congratulated Eno on the establishment of the Akwa Ibom State Electricity Regulatory Commission.

The commissioning, which is scheduled for 3pm at Udo Inwang Road, Uyo, is the ninth in the series of projects lined up for commissioning as part of activities marking Akwa Ibom State’s 39th anniversary.

The road, which is in line with the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, is expected to ease movement, support economic activities and improve access for residents and businesses within the area.

The project also incorporates erosion control facilities, reflecting the administration’s practical approach to addressing environmental challenges while delivering durable infrastructure that will serve the people.

For Governor Eno, quality infrastructure is essential to economic growth and improved living standards. His administration has been very intentional in its drive to ensure that no community is left behind in the distribution of development projects across the State.

The commissioning of the 5.5km Udo Inwang Road today is therefore another strategic step in the Governor’s effort to strengthen road infrastructure, address environmental concerns and take the dividends of development closer to the people at the grassroots.

The 5.5km stretch accompanying erosion control measures which consequently add to the growing network of functional roads within Uyo will reduce travel time, and provide a lasting solution to flooding and erosion that had for years affected residents in the area.

As the people of Uyo Local Government gather to celebrate the Governor for this strategic and people-oriented intervention, it is evident that Governor Eno’s administration remains firmly on track with the ARISE Agenda and indeed delivering tangible dividends of democracy.
