The 4.12-kilometre Ikot Ekpene road network was commissioned in GRA, with Senate President Godswill Akpabio praising the state's infrastructure developments and other sectors in remarks at the commissioning. His assessment is presented as a statement made at the event rather than an independent performance assessment.

Governor Umo Eno said the state would continue developing Akwa Ibom while building on foundations established by previous administrations. The governor also said the state would continue development programmes irrespective of political differences.

Eno separately highlighted the 14.8-kilometre internal roads and spurs with 1.9 kilometres of discharge drains in Awa, ONNA Local Government Area. He said the project was initiated by the previous administration and completed by the current administration.

The governor said the Awa project was particularly significant because it is located in the home community of his predecessor, Udom Emmanuel. He said the state would continue to complete worthwhile inherited projects and extend development to communities.

The source documents road commissioning and the governor's account of project completion but does not provide the project costs, construction timelines or technical specifications beyond the stated road and drainage lengths. It also records the governor's appeal for residents to disregard what he described as unfounded stories and remain focused on development.
