“The Ayade’s Signature ”

Virtually every part and sector of the great entity called Cross River state has an Ayade’s imprints in one way or the other, from the hills of Obanliku to the forests of Boki, from the Creeks of Bakassi to the Cocoa plantations of Ikom one can feel the Ayade impact as a responsive government.

Landmark initiatives with direct impact on the lives of Cross Riverians as well as capacity of changing the fortunes of the state is a trademark of the digital Governor.

Boosting Agriculture

Worthy of note is the job creation capabilities of all Ayade’s interventions and infrastructural / Industrial projects. From Green Police establishment, employment of persons for the garment factory, Ultra Modern Cocoa Processing Factory, the Deep seaport, the super high way, the Calabar Pharmaceutical Company (CALAPHARM), Thai rice farm. Establishment of the Cross River State Infrastructure Development Company amongst other notable milestones in his first year in office.

The power plant, an Ayade’s project

The Ayade’s administration can better be described as a climate /environment friendly, educationally supportive, agriculturally responsive, technologically inclined, investment oriented, labour reliable, creativity/ innovation receptive, health reliable, security proactive and above all people focused- workers are having a pleasant experience with the Ayade’s leadership style where the workers welfare is of utmost priority

Water and Power also a priority to Ayade.

Certainly, with Prof. Ben Ayade, Cross River State is in the spot light again. It is no surprise that the state is rated high in terms of performance in the country.

The deep seaport project

There are better days ahead and one man with the pedigree to actualise the Cross River dream is the one whose signature is all over the place, the digital governor, Prof Ben Ayade.
