The Speaker of the Cross River State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem, on Friday inspected ongoing road construction projects across Ikom metropolis, reaffirming the state’s commitment to improving infrastructure and easing transportation.
A major highlight of the inspection was the famous Sweet Mother Street, a strategic road that had remained abandoned and in a deplorable condition for several years.
Speaking during the tour, Ayambem commended Governor Bassey Otu for responding to the longstanding demands of Ikom residents by reconstructing the road, describing Sweet Mother Street as a vital economic corridor and one of the town’s most recognizable landmarks.
He urged the contractors to deliver quality work that reflects the standards of the Otu administration’s “People First” agenda, stressing that durable infrastructure remains essential to the socio-economic development of the area.
The Speaker was accompanied by the Chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts and member representing Yala I State Constituency, Hon. Brian Odey.
The inspection forms part of ongoing efforts to monitor the quality and pace of infrastructure projects being executed across Cross River State.
