A state lawmaker praised a federal decision on major projects for the Cross River. Chief Hilary Bisong, the assembly's Chief Whip, commended the approval of over four billion dollars in public-private partnership investments. He said this aligns with the national Renewed Hope Agenda to attract private capital.
Bisong highlighted the Bakassi Deep Seaport as a crucial part of the package. He stated the port will handle large vessels and help decongest other ports. This should boost maritime capacity and stimulate industrial activity. The projects aim to improve export competitiveness and global trade integration.
He also credited the state governor, Senator Bassey Otu, for his leadership. Bisong noted the governor's alignment with national development priorities was key.
