Acting President, Prof. 'Yemi Osinbajo
yesterday embarked on an official visit to Cross River State to
commission milestone projects undertaken by the state government.
Osinbajo was received at the Margaret
Ekpo International Airport by Governor Ben Ayade in the company of
members of the state executive, before proceeding to the palace of
the Obong of Calabar, His Eminence Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V, for
a courtesy visit.
Speaking at the commissioning of the
projects, Prof. Osinbajo commended the achievements of the present
administration under the leadership of Gov. Ayade and his service to
the people of Cross River State.
“Cross River State is so much an
integral part of Nigeria and every part needs the other. We are
greater together than apart. When people speak of Nigeria, it is
because of its diversity. Unity is absolutely important because God
wants us to be united,” Osinbajo said.
He commissioned the Calabar Monorail,
Calabar International Convention Centre, and the Cross River Garment
Factory.
"Our vision for Cross River State
is to make it a destination for investments in Africa," said
Ayade. "Acting President 'Yemi Osinbajo's visit is a validation
of our efforts taken so far to achieve this laudable goal. The
government and people of Cross River are grateful for his support as
we join hands to move the ship of the state forward."
