The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Civil Society and Donor Agencies, Professor Ini Udoka stated this during a courtesy call on Governor Liyel Imoke in Calabar, the Cross River State Capital after inspecting some projects across the state.

The Commitee Members were in the state to inspect projects executed by the European Union (EU) with Federal Ministry of Water Resources as well as others projects undertaken by Federal MDAs to ascertain their Level of implementation, quality and impact on the citizens domiciled in the State.

Speaking after their inspection to project sites at Ikot Okon Abasi and Akpap Okoyong in Odukpani Local Government Area, Professor Udoma averred that, the Commitee is pleased with the modalities  put in place by the Cross River State Government to sustain the effectiveness of the projects for generations yet unborn.

Imoke added that, partnerships with donor agencies will further enhance development and that the import of the projects is that they are client driven and not donor agencies driven.
