According to the Chairman, the newly signed Appropriation By-Law will serve as a strategic framework for the execution of programmes and projects aimed at strengthening infrastructure, enhancing security, and improving service delivery across the local government in the new fiscal year, in line with the administration’s commitment to driving socio-economic growth and development.
Speaking further, he reiterated his resolve to fully align with the People First mantra of Governor Bassey Otu, which seeks to promote grassroots development and improve the overall welfare of citizens across Cross River State, including Obudu Local Government Area.
