Still in Oruk Anam, Akpabio will commission 20-stall open market project in Urua Anwa, Aya Obio Akpa, and a furnished three classroom block in Obio Ibiet Esa.
In Etim Ekpo Local Government Area, Akpabio is billed to commission a fully furnished three classroom block at Primary School Utu Etim Ekpo and a solar-powered 3.5 kilometre radius reticulated water project in Utu Idung Akpan Udom Village and 20-stall open market project.
While in Obot Akara, Akpabio will commission a three classroom block he built at the FIDA Secondary Commercial School, Urua Offiong Etor Udo and inspect a solar-powered water project in Uruk Usung Village.
It will be recalled that Senator Akpabio had last week similarly commissioned some of his constituency projects at Ini, Ikono, Ikot Ekpene and Abak local government areas.
They were part of the over 50 projects that he has executed to bring relief to his constituents.
Over 280 students have benefited from full scholarships by Akpabio.
“Not only has Senator Akpabio positively touched the lives of his constituents with these life-touching projects, as a leader and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, he sees the whole state as his constituency and so has graciously extended his constituency projects to communities in Uyo and Eket Senatorial Districts,” the statement reads.
According to his media aide the dates for the commissioning of more projects in Ika, Essien Udim local government areas and Uyo and Eket Senatorial Districts would be announced in due course.
He enjoined the benefiting communities to guard and protect the projects so as to attract more projects.
