Motorists and road users plying the Calabar-Odukpani-Itu Fedral highway have begun to heave a sigh of relief as the Cross River Government began palliative repairs on the road.

The highway had been impassable for a long time, causing traffic gridlock.
The road had made motorists and others plying it to spend nights on its bad spots during journeys that should take less than an hour.
A motorist, Mr. Monday Okon Ikpe, said: “Last Thursday, I slept here because there was a long queue resulting from the bad road. But the intervention of the Cross River government has really helped us.”

A passenger, Aniefiok Udoh, said: “I am happy for the assistance being offered to alleviate the suffering of road users.
“The Federal Government should act fast because this is not a state road.”
A driver of a truck, Abel Bartholomew, expressed joy at the ongoing remedial work.
He said: “I am happy that the state government is intervening on the road. We abandoned the road and we have been using Mbarakom Road. In fact, I appreciate and pray that God grants Governor Ben Ayade many more years.”
