Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74305, member: 636"] Open Forum just called out Akwa Ibom officials for letting Uyo turn into a pothole-riddled mess with garbage piling up in weird spots around town. Matthew Kofi Okono from the group said one trash dump sits right next to a primary school entrance and the Township Stadium, which is basically asking for health problems while making the whole area look terrible. The organization wants local councils to handle road repairs and sanitation instead of waiting for state agencies that apparently can't get anything done despite the governor ordering fixes ages back. Okono pointed to some accounting expert's grant model that would let municipalities patch their own roads using money from higher levels of government. Water fountains around the city are supposedly disgusting and neglected, and the state road maintenance agency seems unable to do its actual job. [/QUOTE]
