NDDC Commissions 3.7 Kilometer Dual Carriageway For UNIUYO
The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has commissioned a 3.7-kilometre dual carriageway and solar powered light at the main campus of the University of Uyo in Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom State.
In a statement signed by the Director, Corporate Affairs, Ibitoye Abosede, last Wednesday and made available to The Tide, the Managing Director of the Commission, Mr Nsima Ekere, who performed the commissioning, expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done by the NDDC contractor, pointing out that the solid drainage work would enable the road last longer.
Ekere noted that the era of poor quality work and abandoned projects was gone due to the control measures put in place by the current NDDC board and management since assumption in office two years ago.
”NDDC is delivering quality work across the Niger Delta,” he added.
The NDDC boss stressed that the commission has executed over 300 projects in Akwa Ibom in the last two years under his watch, out of which 90 per cent of these projects have been completed.
According to him, “All I can assure the entire Akwa Ibom people is that NDDC will continue to live to its responsibilities and to recognize Akwa Ibom State as the leading oil producing state in the country,” he stated.
In his response, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Enefiok Essien, thanked the NDDC chief executive officer for including the university among beneficiaries of the commission.
The Vice-Chancellor, who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) of the University of Uyo, Prof. Inyang Udofot, explained that the road had been an embarrassment to the university for past years, adding that the commission had removed the shame by their kind gestures.
She said: “The approach road into this campus was an embarrassing feature of our university and you have saved us from this embarrassment because you are our own. You shared this embarrassment. The University of Uyo will not forget this gesture. Thank you sir and may the good Lord bless you and your future endeavours.”
Speaking also, a representative of the university’s host community, Use Offot, thanked the NDDC for the UNIUYO access road and for acceding to their plea on time to construct roads in their community.
