A former House of Representatives aspirant in Cross River State, Dr. Martha Agba, has praised the Cross River State Governor, Bassey Edet Otu, on his infrastructure and development drive following the inauguration of two major projects in Calabar.

The projects are the Cross River State Library, which was renovated and equipped with world-class, modern facilities, and the expansion of the state’s aviation sector through the acquisition of two new Cally Air aircraft.

Both were inaugurated on Tuesday by Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima.

Dr. Agba described the developments as “testaments to Governor Otu’s visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to the progress of Cross River State.”

She lauded the governor for prioritising critical sectors such as education and transportation, saying both projects would deliver long-term benefits to the state’s residents and economy.

“Your Excellency, in just two years, you have demonstrated a rare blend of purpose, foresight, and action,” Agba noted. 

“These milestones will be remembered for generations to come.”

The upgraded state library is expected to serve as a hub for knowledge and innovation, while the additional Cally Air aircraft are projected to boost the state’s economic competitiveness and tourism appeal.

Dr. Agba’s commendation adds to growing public recognition of the Otu administration’s strides in transforming Cross River State through strategic investments and infrastructure development.
