Nigeria’s Minister of State for Industry, John Owan Enoh, has expressed joy for being part of a retinue of government officials and other people at the flag off ceremony “for the construction of the much-anticipated Ikom-Etomi-Agbokim Waterfalls road, Cross River State, which took place yesterday.”
Enoh who took to his verified Facebook page to express this joy, further informed that the project was “…initiated under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu” and “is set to address decades of challenges faced by the region, and this will enhance connectivity, tourism, and economic growth.”
While noting that the route holds great historical and economic importance as it connects the four government-owned cocoa estates established during the late Michael Okpara administration, he stressed that “the road will improve the livelihood of cocoa farmers, local traders and transform the region.” The road will also significantly boost tourism in the region by improving access to the renowned Agbokim Waterfalls, one of Nigeria’s famous natural attractions.
He thanked Nigeria’s president, Bola Tinubu, “for his unwavering support and transformational leadership”, just like he also thanked “the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, led by its Managing Director, Samuel Ogbuku, for taking decisive steps to redeem the region’s infrastructure legacy.”
