Eno

The Afaha Oku Village Council, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, has appealed to Governor Umo Eno to urgently intervene on a fast encroaching erosion site which has so far submerged no fewer than 50 buildings in the area.

In a letter tagged 'SOS: EROSION MENACE ALONG AKAN ETON STREET AND OTHER SOJOURNING STREETS IN AFAHA OKU VILLAGE, UYO', signed by Afaha Oku Village Head, Eteidung Emmanuel M. Eka and Secretary, Supol Cosmos A. Ebong , the community leaders said the erosion has submerged buildings, with many more houses about to collapse.

“The village Council passionately appeals to Your Excellency to award contract to rehabilitate the affected roads for residents to return to their houses,' the letter stated. One of the affected landlords, Mr Titus Jerome Udoh, a retiree had vacated his home said his house, located at No8 Akpan Eton Street, off Ekpene Ntan Street, became threatened by erosion when a construction company diverted flood water from Urua Ekpa and its environs into Akpan Eton.
