The Executive Chairman of Akamkpa Local Government Council, Hon.

In a statement released to the press, Hon. Akposi noted that Akamkpa, being among the host local government areas of the coastal highway, will strategically leverage the project to advance its developmental frontiers. He envisioned a rapid transformation in the area marked by the emergence of new towns, urban conurbations, and epicentres of agricultural and social tourism.

According to the Chairman, “The intersection of the coastal highway with the Calabar–Ikom Highway will be a commercial hub, hence we are proposing an organized layout within the area. Accordingly, the Works and Infrastructure Unit of the Local Government Council is to synergise with the State Government and the Federal Ministry of Works to plan the layout within the axis.”

He further added, “We know that the demand for land within this axis will be very high in the coming days, hence it’s best to have a neatly planned layout before people will deface the area.”

Hon. Akposi used the opportunity to express deep appreciation to the Governor of Cross River State, His Excellency Sen. (Apostle) Prince Bassey Edet Otu, for what he described as proactive and pragmatic leadership. He described the governor as a strategic leader under whose watch the state has witnessed remarkable developmental strides.

“Just recently, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E. Sen. Kashim Shettima, was here for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Special Agro Processing Zone in Adiabo. Today, we have yet another Federal presence in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cross River State axis of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway,” Akposi stated.

He concluded with a message of hope, assuring the people of Cross River that better days are indeed ahead as the state steadily moves toward infrastructural and economic rejuvenation.
