Northcrest Integrated Nig Ltd based in Port Harcourt.

of Uruan and Itu Local Government Areas on the nature of the project recently
at the primary school Ikot Ayan Itam, Senator Enang appreciated president
Goodluck Jonathan and Governor Godswill Akpabio for their support to the

projects that when completed will link the people of Enen Atai, Uyo Itam,
Mbiakot, Ikot Anie, Ema, Ikot Offiong, Ekid Itam, Ikot Ayan and Oku Ayadehe to
Mbiaya Uruan and others in Uruan LGA which about five villages also benefit
from the said construction.

stretch road was awarded recently to Northcrest Integrated Nig Ltd and is
billed to commenced work soon after the rainy season and appealed to the people
to remain calm while assuring them that government will ensure the quick
payment of compensation to them. He however warned those erecting new

valued by the valuers.
