On September 22, 2026, Akwa Ibom State Governor Pastor Umo Eno inaugurated a 14.8km internal roads project and 1.9km of discharge drains in Awa, the community of his predecessor, Udom Emmanuel, located in Onna Local Government Area. The project, which consists of 16 road sections, was initiated by Udom Emmanuel and completed by Umo Eno as part of the state government's infrastructure drive under the ARISE Agenda.
During the commissioning ceremony, Eno expressed that the event was significant due to Awa being the hometown of Udom Emmanuel, whom he respects as a political father. Eno assured residents of further development projects, highlighting that 26 projects are ongoing in Onna, including a hospital project for medical training.
He also acknowledged the contributions of Onna indigenes in his administration and emphasized the need for unity in development efforts. Kufre Umoren, Chairman of Onna Local Government Area, praised Eno's initiatives and the community's peaceful coexistence.
