Akwa Ibom state Governor, Umo Eno has directed the immediate relocation of families and demolition of structures within the areas of the ongoing Uyo – Ewet gully erosion reclamation and beautification project.
Governor Eno gave the directive during an unscheduled visit to the site.
The Governor pointed out that beyond addressing a major gully erosion in the area by reclaiming the once inaccessible, abandoned and life-threatening ravine, the government aims to create wealth out of the waste.
He expressed delight at the pace of work, which is at an advanced stage and assured that when completed, children and their parents within and outside the state will have a good facility for relaxation.
Managing Director of the contracting firm, Faysal Harb stated that phase one of the recreational park, which includes a golf course, football pitch, tennis court, basketball, volleyball and children’s playground among others had reached advanced stages.
