The traffic gridlock faced by the people of Ukelle in Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State will soon come to pass, Governor Bassey Otu has assured.

At an on-the-spot assessment, Friday, of the 39km road project abandoned about two decades, the governor promised its completion to boost economic activities and ease vehicular movement.

In a meeting with the Clan Head of Wanokom, Chief Denis Ugede and other chiefs in his palace, Senator Otu assured of the commencement of the road construction in the dry season.

“I have been informed that successive administrations have carried out same inspections and never fulfilled the promises made, but be rest assured that this will be the final inspection by state government officials and we are definitely going to complete the construction of this road project,” Otu promised.
