Oruk Anam Bemoan Poor Infrastructure ...Seeks Government Attention In The Area

-

By Nsisong Morgan 

The clan head of Ekparakwa in Oruk Anam Local Government Area, His Royal Highness Jonny Mmeh Etuk,   has decried the poor infrastructural development in the area.

He stated this recently while briefing our correspondents in his palace.

Obong Mmeh explained that lack of infrastructure, such as electricity and good road network hinders development.

He however disclosed that   adequate power supply can attract investors to establish businesses in the area thereby improving the wellbeing of the people.


He said, "we are not feeling fine due to poor power supply, it is not a good thing to happen, with that you cannot talk of any development because when there is no light, life is difficult. If there is adequate power supply people would come in and establish business".

He appealed to the state government to speedily address the problem even as it would improve the standard living of the people. 

While fielding questions from our correspondents on Fulani herdsmen and farmers clash in the area, he maintained that they have worked assiduously to restore peace noting that in some areas such as Nnung Ikot Asanga, plans have been concluded to get the herders and their cows away from the people's farm.

According to him, "I don't think that the herders are still using their cows to destroy people's farm crops now, but though it happened, we struggle to get their leaders, we brought it to their notice and they stood by us until the cows were removed. About Nnung Ikot Asanga, the people came here this week and the herders promised us that they would get their cows away from people's farm",  he added.
