Calabar-Itu Road
Infrastructure Decay
Govt Intervention
A concerned group has described the deplorable state of the Calabar-Itu Highway as a “national embarrassment,” urging the government to take immediate action to fix the critical road link. The highway, which connects Cross River and Akwa Ibom states, has deteriorated, causing severe transportation challenges for commuters and businesses.
Stakeholders highlight that the poor condition of the road hampers economic activities, increases travel time, and poses safety risks. They call for urgent repairs and long-term infrastructure planning to prevent further decline.
With growing frustrations among road users, the group appeals to authorities to prioritize the project, ensuring smooth connectivity and boosting regional development.
