Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has issued a July 2026 deadline for the completion of the long-delayed Tabernacle Road project in Itam, Itu Local Government Area, warning that the state government will revoke the contract if the project is not delivered on schedule.

The governor issued the ultimatum during a media briefing in Uyo on Saturday to mark the third anniversary of his administration, where he also warned contractors handling public projects across the state against delays and poor delivery.

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has praised workers across the state for their dedication and contributions to the successful implementation of his administration’s ARISE Agenda.

Speaking during the May Day celebration, Eno, who was represented by his deputy, Senator (Dr.) Akon Eyakenyi said the achievements recorded by his government were made possible through the commitment, resilience and cooperation of the state’s workforce.

Governor Umo Eno’s claim during Tuesday’s budget presentation that his administration has constructed 900 kilometres of roads has drawn widespread criticism, with many residents disputing the accuracy of the figure.

The governor’s claim has ignited debate online and offline, as citizens question how his one-and-a-half-year administration could have delivered “hundreds of kilometres” of roads.
