Prof. Nneoyi Egbe, Bishop of Calabar Anglican Communion, has berated Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State over projects yet to completed across the state.
Egbe disclosed this when he addressed the press as part of events to mark the second session of the 11th Synod of the Calabar Diocese.
He said that despite raising the hope of the people by initiating the projects, it has been dashed by the inability to complete them.

The clergy said, “Cross Riverians were hopeful for the long-expected economic transformation of the State, when the government started these projects.
“We have now noticed that the administration has hung our hearts up in expectation.”
He noted that while government is a continuum, he was, however, not sure if the next administration would complete these projects.
He added, “This is because every set of leaders always focus on their own projects.”
The Bishop lauded the governor for the improved security situation in the state but called for more action to better the road network across the state.
He said, “Our road network in the state is far from what we hoped for, many of the rural and urban roads have broken down.
“This has contributed to the high cost of conveying farm produce from rural to urban centers.
“However, we wish to commend the government on the slight improvement in the security within the state over the last year but the government should not to rest on its oars as it is not yet “uhuru.”
Meanwhile, in his reaction, Mr. Christian Ita, Special Adviser on Media to the governor, responding said the projects yet to be completed are nearing completion.
He urged anybody who had any doubts to take a tour of these projects rather than draw conclusion from the “comfort of their homes.”
Ita said, “The government has not ended, it still has 10 to 11 months to run and work has not stopped in any of the projects initiated by this administration.”
