Calabar-Itu Road

Business owners and residents of Calabar-Itu Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State and its environs are counting their losses as the road remains closed to traffic for over five months.

Recall that the Commissioner for Works and Fire Service, Professor Eno Ibanga on May, 2024 announced a temporary closure of Calabar-Itu Highway by Park Road intersection and Calabar-Itu dual carriageway by Mandela Street intersection to enable the deep excavation work involved in the ongoing construction of 0.97km underground drainage system at Tabernacle Road. The drainage aimed to evacuate water from Ikot Ekpene Road and its environs was expected to be completed within one month.

Gideon, a resident of Tabernacle Road, lamented how floods would enter people’s poultry farms and houses, drown their fowls and destroy their electronics and other valuable properties. He said, 'forget about what the government is saying on the radio and on the pages of newspapers. “I'm not exaggerating, some people have relocated, while some vacated their residence to live with friends and families temporarily in other safe places.
