Other projects in Ekwulobia include adjoining roads such as the two-kilometre Nanka-Ekwulobia-Aguata Council Area headquarters’ road, the Ekwulobia-Isuofia road, and other ancillary structures and facilities. There is a modern bus terminal, fuel station, security office, fire station, and other external works, such as sewage treatment facilities, drainage, and landscaping, among others.
‘The governor is also constructing an ultra-modern market to accommodate traders and their wares. Not left out is a motor park, a sports and recreation facilities, that will not only host sporting events but international concerts and cultural festivals.
