 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 Agency may not be the most effective solution. While the Agency may have the capacity to manage the collection of road infrastructure maintenance levies, it may not have the same level of expertise or experience as the dissolved committee. This could lead to inefficiencies and potential mismanagement of infrastructure development projects.


It would have been more beneficial for the Governor to have allowed the committee to continue its work, while also providing the necessary support and resources to ensure its effectiveness. This would have enabled the committee to build on its existing knowledge and expertise, while also allowing for greater transparency and accountability in infrastructure development projects.


Additionally, the Governor could have considered reforming the committee to make it more efficient and effective, rather than dissolving it entirely. This could have involved providing additional training and resources to committee members, as well as establishing clearer goals and objectives for the committee's work.


In conclusion, while the Governor's intention to streamline responsibilities and ensure efficient management of infrastructure development is understandable, dissolving the Infrastructure Task Force Committee may not be the most effective solution. It would have been more beneficial to allow the committee to continue its work, while also providing the necessary support and resources to ensure its effectiveness.
