Uyo is the state capital of Akwa Ibom, in South South Nigeria. The city became the capital of the state on September 23, 1987 following the creation of Akwa Ibom State from erstwhile Cross River State. The University of Uyo Main campus is located at Nwaniba, While the Town campus and Annex campus are located along Ikpa road. The population of Uyo, according to the 2006 Nigerian Census which comprises Uyo and Itu, is 427,873. while the urban area, including Uruan, is 554,906.
Another interesting part of Uyo is the budding rise of entrepreneurs hence the growth of businesses, now this was where i found a problem and i needed to fix it so i provided a solution. Many places, businesses and areas are not mapped, they are not on the map and this made it super hard for me to move round my city until when i discovered how to add new places on the map. Ever since then i have been adding new places and reviewing the previous ones. Also i teach other people around me how to add and review places on the map.
