 THE GOVERNOR COULD HAVE CONSIDERED REFORMING THE COMMITTEE INSTEAD The dissolution of the Infrastructure Task Force Committee by the Governor of Cross River State, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, raises several concerns. While the Governor's intention to streamline responsibilities and ensure efficient management of infrastructure development is understandable, dissolving the committee may not be the most effective solution. One major concern is that the dissolution of the committee may lead to a loss of specialized knowledge and expertise. The committee members, having worked on infrastructure development projects, have likely gained valuable insights and experience that would be beneficial in future projects. By dissolving the committee, this expertise may be lost, potentially hindering future infrastructure development efforts. Furthermore, the Governor's decision to assign the responsibilities of the dissolved committee to the Cross River State Infrastructure Development A...

 THE ABSENCE OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AT STATE ORGANIZED EVENTS HAVE HINDER THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOVERNOR OTU INITIATIVES IN THE STATE. By Marcel Edem  Chief editor Cross River Live  The absence of government officials at state-organized events in Cross River State, especially when the governor and deputy governor are not present, has become a pressing concern.

This lack of representation sends the wrong signal to the public and undermines the efforts of the state government. Government aides, including commissioners, special advisers, and other high-ranking officials, have a critical role to play in promoting government initiatives, providing support, and fostering partnerships with local businesses and org...

 Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, recently sparked debate by alleging that Governor Bala Mohammed and others undermined the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) zoning policy by supporting a northern candidate for the 2023 presidential election. However, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has countered Wike's claims, labeling them as lies. According to Eze, it was Wike's own ambitions and actions that led to the collapse of the PDP's zoning policy in 2022. Eze asserts that Wike's desire to contest the presidential primary led him to position his supporters, who later formed the G-5 group, to influence the party's decision in his favor. Eze also notes that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar did not oppose zoning the presidential ticket to the South but instead suggested that if zoned to the South, it should specifically go to the South-East. Eze's statement highlights the ongoing tensions within t...
