GOV ENO TARGETS DECEMBER FOR COMPLETION OF UYO GULLY RECLAMATION PROJECT 



Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work at the ongoing gully erosion reclamation and beautification of the Uyo-Ewet Ravine Project, while affirming the determination of his administration to convert the area to a tourist site.


Governor Eno stated this during his inspection of the project at Etim Umanah and Udo Inwang Streets in Ewet Offot Community. 


The Governor assured that the project which includes the reclamation of the gully erosion-ravaged Etim Umana and Udo Inwang streets and conversion of the ravine lying between Uyo and Ewet villages of Offot Ukwa clan to a recreation park, will be completed by the end of the year. 


According to him "we thank God that we are able to walk up to this point here. I remember we couldn't during our first visit. I personally felt the pain of the people living here. We will reclaim the place and channel the water properly, it will become a lake, and we would have a very good tourist site here. So that's what we are doing," he explained.
