Uyo Flooding: Gov Eno Orders Review of City’s Master Plan

Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno has directed a review of Uyo’s master plan following concerns over recurring flooding in parts of the state capital.

The governor said the review was necessary to address the factors contributing to flooding and improve the city’s drainage and overall physical development.

He directed relevant government agencies to examine the existing master plan and identify areas requiring adjustments to ensure that future urban development takes proper account of drainage, waterways and other environmental considerations.

Eno also stressed the need for coordinated action among government agencies responsible for urban planning, environmental management and infrastructure development.

The review is expected to form part of broader efforts by the state government to reduce the impact of flooding and improve the resilience of Uyo’s infrastructure.
