Speaker Of The Cross River State House Of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem has commissioned the new Cross River State House of Assembly signpost. The commissioning of the signpost took place on Wednesday, at the entrance of the House of Assembly complex, Calabar.
Rt. Hon. Elvert expressed his gratitude for the moral support he received from Sen. (Prince) Bassey Otu, the Executive Governor of Cross River State, and the dedicated members of the Tenth Assembly while commissioning the signpost.
Ayambem noted that the old sign was no longer effective, as it was old and in poor condition. He explained that the former signpost was dilapidated and hard to see, offering inadequate directions to the assembly complex.
Additionally, the speaker noted that the new signpost was purposely designed to have a monumental feel, showcasing the historical achievements of the 18 local government areas listed on the other side.
Members of the House of Assembly applauded the Speaker for creating such a masterpiece and art that will stand the test of time.
The project is one of the many undertaken by the speaker, since their official assumption of office, and others include the rehabilitation of the assembly complex ease points, restrooms, and furniture, reconstruction of the Assembly water systems, and just recently added the security unit quarters and the assembly entrance gate to his the bucket list.
