As the election approaches, Hon. Okponung has assured the people of Udung Uko that they can hold him accountable if he fails to deliver on the promises outlined in the SHARE AGENDA. His vision is to not only rebuild but also unite the community, creating an environment that fosters growth and development for all.


With the release of this policy document, Okponung has signaled his readiness to tackle the challenges facing Udung Uko and his determination to lead the area towards a brighter future.
