Connecting Communities: Ikpoto Effiat HCDT to Construct Road Network with Drainage from Ubotuong to Usuk Effiat
Effiat, a predominantly fishing settlement within the Akwa Ibom State, faces unique challenges of seasonal flooding and poor accessibility. Roads connecting villages often become impassable during the rainy season, disrupting trade, healthcare access, and education. The route between Ubotuong and Usuk Effiat serves as a vital lifeline for fishermen, traders, schoolchildren, and families, making its improvement a community priority.
