Oil communities in Akwa Ibom protest underdevelopment, NDDC’s abandoned projects
Angry youths in the oil communities of Akwa Ibom State, on Thursday, protested over what they called ‘high underdevelopment and infrastructural decay’ in their areas.
Addressing the monarch and his council members, the IYC leader condemned several years of socio-political and economic marginalization of the area by successive governments, explaining that such neglect of the oil-bearing areas of Eastern Obolo has brought untold hardship on the people. Also, Comrades Ukoima and Paul disclosed that the lack of functional health facilities had led to several infant and maternal mortalities as the only General Hospital established by former governor Godswill Akpabio remained totally out of tune with modern hospitals.
