Akwa Ibom Communities Decry Poor Infrastructure and Youth Unemployment

Residents of Akwa Ibom communities, represented by Hon. Patrick Umoh (Rep, IKOT EKPENE/ESSEN UDIM/Obot Akara) and supported by Yiaga Africa and the European Union, lament the poor road network, youth unemployment, and lack of electricity. They call on legislators to prioritize road construction in the upcoming budget to address economic challenges and security risks.

The focus is on empowering youth, women, and disabled individuals through skill grants. Olaniyan Sanusi of Yiaga Africa emphasizes the need for government responsiveness to people's needs.
