Idongesit Ntekpere and the transformation in Obot Akara

Since the creation of Obot Akara Local Government Area some years back, administrations have come and gone. Some council chairmen have performed while others have not lived up to the expectations of the people. However, the present administration, led by the Chairman of the Area, Hon. (Prince) Idongesit Ntekpere has within one year, surprised the people of the Area by being an agent of transformation. 

Although some Local Government Chairpersons in the State have been in the habit of lamenting to their citizens, insufficient funds, little or delayed allocation from the state and inadequate machinery for the implementation of democracy dividends which often times, protracts to non-payment of workers, the Obot Akara Council Chairman has been able to use the little allocation given to him to embark on life-touching projects which has changed the face of the area. Those who did not believe his performances were marveled when the Council Boss invited members of the Press for a briefing as part of the activities marking his one year in office last week. Hon. Ntekpere took time to highlight his achievements in the past one year.
