The United Cement Company (UNICEM) now called LAFARGE has completed the rehabilitation of Akpabuyo.
Over the years now, the road that has been a major entry and exit point for goods and services to and fro Akpabuyo and Bakassi LGAs has been neglected. But, now UNICEM has taken it a task to themselves to solve the problem since it’s another way of transporting Cements from their factory to consumers.
One of the staff told Calabar Reporters that in meantime the road has to be fixed since it’s the only way their trucks can pass to deliver their Cements to consumers.
He added;
“we are working on our major route which is the Oban Road through MCC, across Goodluck Jonathan bypass. And the management is also constructing another major road worth Billions of Naira at Odukpani junction beside the Nigerian Police Ground which will lead directly to the Plant and will in turn reduce the cost of trucks transportation”.
Although, the road has been put to halt as it’s awaiting permission on how it’ll emerge, whether to create a roundabout or to let it pass through the Police Command at Odukpani junction.
The rehabilitated area covers a distance of about 1km starting from the Nigerian Navy Barracks, Atimbo, Calabar to the Akpabuyo bridge.
