Mosques

Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, is home to a small but growing Muslim community. Within a 50 km radius, there are 15 listed prayer places, though most are concentrated in the neighbouring city of Calabar, Cross River State. The mapped records show that Uyo itself has limited mosque coverage, with the nearest significant prayer place being the NYSC Camp Mosque in Ikot Akpabio, about 24 km away. This suggests that Muslims in Uyo often travel to nearby areas for congregational prayers, especially on Fridays and during Eid.

The majority of listed mosques are in Calabar, located approximately 45 km from Uyo. These include prominent mosques such as Calabar Central Mosque on Otop Abasi Street in Akim Qua Town, Central Mosque on Etim Edem Street in Bogoberi, and Izala Central Mosque Bogobiri on Mary Slessor Avenue. Additionally, several branches of Sheik Dahiru Bauchi mosque are spread across Calabar, with addresses on Ekorinim Road, Bedwell Street, Bassey Edem Street, Douglas Avenue, and others. These prayer places serve areas like Bogoberi, Leopad Town, Big Qua Town, and Satellite Town, providing options for Muslims in the region.

For Muslims living in or visiting Uyo, the closest listed prayer place is the NYSC Camp Mosque in Ikot Akpabio, which is about 24 km away. The Maritime Academy Of Nigeria Mosque in Oron is another option, though it is 45 km away. While Uyo itself lacks a dense network of mapped mosques, the nearby Calabar area offers a variety of prayer spaces. This distribution highlights the importance of planning ahead for prayer times, especially for those without personal transport. The listings are based on available mapped records and may not reflect all existing prayer places.
