Otu Charges Aides To Do More After Spending 2 Years In Office

Cross River State governor Bassey Otu has charged his special assistants not to limit themselves to current achievements recorded but to intensify efforts to surpass them.

Otu gave the charge in Calabar, while reacting to his endorsement at the weekend by his special assistants who appealed to him to vie for the seat of governor in 2027.

The state chief executive officer, who spoke on the theme “People First in Action – The Journey so Far,” as part of the activity to mark the governor’s two years in office, averred that collective efforts would drive success.

The Cross River State governor, represented by the state commissioner for Education, Senator Stephen Odey, expressed gratitude to his aides for their contributions to nation-building and economic development.

“The best is yet to come, and by the end of this administration, Cross River State will never remain the same,” Otu said.

Otu lauded the managers of the state education sector for the giant stride recorded in making the state to rank 4th among the top 10 states in the last NECO examinations.

In his earlier remarks, chairman of the Forum of Special Assistants, Mr. Andrea Ekeng, described Governor Otu as a leader who stands with the people, not just sits in office.
