“Championing the integration of GRB principles in the financial management practices of Cross River State,” Odoko maintained.

In her response, the Accountant General of the state, Glory Effiong, assured the group of Governor Bassey Otu-led administration’s willingness to assist the NGO intensify the fight against GBV against women and children.

“Your programme is supposed to be driven through a ministry. Let someone handle it for you and drive the process.

“You know authorisation and approval is not done here,” she noted, stressing that she was optimistic that if the matter was pursued through the ministry with genuine evidence that funds applied for would be channel into the purpose for which its meant for, she was sure that the governor would authorise the release of funds.
