As the countdown towards Nigeria’s Independence gets closer, the Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade, has reiterated his commitment towards the delivery of good governance to the people of the state.

Ayade made the remark at an interdenominational service at the Saint Bernard’s Catholic Church in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, as part of the events to celebrate Nigeria’s 55th Independence Anniversary.

Speaking on the achievements of the state and country at large towards meaningful governance, Ayade sued for policies that would be more beneficiary to low income earners.

On the issues facing the nation 55 years after independence, the Governor called for a reversal of the privatization policy. According to him, “Nigeria’s present state of development does not support privatization.”

Speaking further, Governor Ayade urged the people of the state to remain focused on his signature projects, no matter how unrealistic it seems, as he remains focused on its deliveries within his first four years in office.
