Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel has disclosed that the
state would soon begin the exploration of crude oil discovered in Urua
Local Council area of the state.

The governor disclosed this during his campaign yesterday at the council’s headquarters.

According
to him, the state is now awaiting the conclusion of some paper
formalities, adding that when completed, it would go a long way in
expanding the state’s status and income from the federation account.

Emmanuel said the commencement of oil exploration would further boost the state’s economy and create employment for the people.

He
said: “Uruan is at the verge of becoming one of the oil producing
communities in the state. That is why you see a new oil rig in the area,
and once we are done with signing of papers, we will begin
exploration.”

The governor said his administration had
established a green house agriculture farm project along airport road
for the cultivation of special crops in the area.

“We are not
playing politics of development, because campaigns should be issue
based. I can assure the people of Uruan that everything ongoing in the
area will be completed and commissioned before the end of this
administration.

The greenhouse in Uruan will be commissioned by our presidential candidate,” he said.

The
governor disclosed that about 2000 cattle had been purchased to
reproduce in their natural habitat, before they are transported to the
state for the production of milk and yoghurt.

He reiterated his
committed to improved healthcare delivery, noting that such has made him
to work towards massive turnaround for the Ituk Mbang General Hospital,
which he said, has been in a serious state of disrepair.

“Ituk
Mbang hospital was overgrown with weeds without maintenance and we
turned its fortunes around by equipping it with modern facilities,” he
said.

Emmanuel lamented that previous administrations did not
even give a kilometer of road to the area, adding that the first ever
range in the state is at Adadia, all of which he set up to boost the
economy and create jobs.

A political leader in the area, Obong
Peter Ekpe Atakpo, commended Emmanuel for being the first governor to
fulfill a promise to develop the area.

He listed the projects to
include: Akwa Prime Hatchery, Anua-Mbak-Issiet road, Mbiaya Uruan road
and Mbiatok Itam-Mbiaya Uruan road.

Others are
Mbiaya-Ita-Ikpa-Mbiakong- Idu road, Ituk Mbang General Hospital,
Adadia/Use Cattle Range, the Housing Estate-Ibiaku Ishiet, and
Greenhouse Agriculture farm project.
