It will be recalled that Senator Akpabio had previously commissioned constituency projects he had executed in Ini, Ikono, Ikot Ekpene, Abak, Obot Akara and Oruk Anam. Over 280 students drawn from the 10 Local Government Areas of the Senatorial District have also benefited from full scholarship by the Senator.

Media aide to the Senator, Anietie Ekong described the execution of constituency projects by Senator Akpabio as unprecedented. "The idea of constituency projects as approved by the Federal Government is to touch the lives of rural communities through essential projects which are lacking in such communities and Senator Akpabio has used his influence as the Minority Leader to attract many of such projects to Akwa Ibom State," he said.

Apart from Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, the two other Senatorial Districts of Akwa Ibom State have also benefited from the constituency projects executed by Senator Akpabio in Uyo and Eket Senatorial Districts. The statement said dates will be announced in due course for the commissioning of more completed projects and enjoined benefiting communities to guard and protect the projects against vandals.
