by In a bid to enhance connectivity and boost economic growth, the Senator representing Cross River North Senatorial District, Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, has facilitated the construction of a bridge in Amukwong, Alege-Ubang, Obudu Local Government Area of Cross River State.
The old bridge, which had become a source of concern for the communities, was not only a hazard to commuters but also a significant obstacle to the socio-economic development of the area. Its deplorable condition made life difficult for residents, commuters, and farmers, who struggled to access markets, schools, and healthcare facilities.
The proposed bridge will serve as a vital link between Amukwong, Okikwor, Ngor-Kpu, and other agrarian communities in Obudu, as well as, improve residents’ access to essential amenities, boost economic activities, and enhance the overall quality of life.
At the handover ceremony, Senator Jarigbe’s constituency officer, Mr. Egar Mgbantul, represented the Senator and tasked JRB Construction Company, the project’s contractors, to deliver a quality and durable job that meets the local communities’ expectations and demands.
This project is part of Senator Jarigbe’s efforts to drive development and improve his constituents’ lives, building on his track record of facilitating infrastructural projects, including roads, bridges, classroom blocks, boreholes, sports and fitness facilities, amongst others.
Residents and stakeholders had appealed to Senator Jarigbe to rebuild the collapsed bridge, and they appreciated his prompt response. They promised to support the contractor in ensuring quality service delivery.
