Most Rev. Benson, who is as well the Chairman, Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN), praised Governor Emmanuel for responding to the needs of the people of Udung Uko by constructing the “the longest road in that area”.
He observed that it was the first time in the history of the State that government has favoured them with a significant project, while describing the road as an answered prayer to the people.
“I thank the Governor for breaking an age-long history in Udung Uko through the construction of that road which links more than 10 communities thus, giving us a true sense of belonging. God has indeed visited us”, he said.
Among other things, Most Rev. Benson noted the impact of the present administration in Oro Nation to include the 13.5KM Okopedi-Oron road, remodeling of the General Hospital, Iquita as well as the siting of the coconut and vegetable farms in Okobo as well as the network of roads in Oron local government area.

“The Hospital which now serves the people’s health needs better; courtesy of Governor Emmanuel’s intervention is the most preferred in the area”.
