Some of government’s infrastructure affected by dredging and mining activities By Sun Apr 18 2021 Mining and dredging business in Akwa Ibom State is a source of income to the owners of the business, an employer of labour for many and also a major source of raw materials for construction of roads and bridges. Without dredging and mining activities in the state, it would probably have been difficult for the Akwa Ibom State Government to source for sand, a major raw material used for the building of roads and bridges that litter the state. Yet, these mining and dredging activities which have helped to boost the outlook and infrastructural development of the state now constitute threats to already existing infrastructure.
